A Virtual Circle of Trust® Retreat
Living a Lasting Legacy is the 4th differently themed retreat in a series of retreats Kirstin and Winton have offered. Other offerings include:
- Claiming Your Life As it Is –
- Standing at the Edge of Life –
- Embracing the Mystery-
This Circle of Trust® retreat is rooted in The Soul of Aging, a small-group program based on the work of Dr. Parker Palmer and The Center for Courage and Renewal. Living a Lasting Legacy invites anyone, regardless of age, who yearns to show up more fully to their life; to openly explore the challenges and gifts of the aging process; to surrender to, and be transformed by the aging process. We will create and hold a safe space in which we may seek a deeper understanding of how to age well, with dignity and integrity.
This retreat builds on themes explored in their other offerings, you do not need to have attended another retreat previously. Participants have enjoyed the varied topics and the opportunity to explore their own journey of aging individually and in the company of others.
Focus areas for this retreat include
The Retreat invites participants to reflect on and explore the following themes in community with fellow travelers on this journey of life:
- Define what a lasting legacy means to you?
- Explore the deep roots of who you are
- Celebrate the authentic alignment of our inner and outer lives
- Sending out “shoots” – nourishing the roots of our future
This virtual retreat offers:
- a space to renew the heart, mind, and spirit through the exploration of the inner landscape of one’s life
- time to reconnect to one’s identity and integrity; identifying and honoring gifts & strengths, and acknowledging our limits.
- a process to strengthen one’s self-awareness, with the help of others
- a space to deepen our conversation with ourselves, through tangible practices and specific guidelines
- a group in which powerful inquiry about the spiritual life can happen in a safe and confidential context
- an opportunity to practice deep listening and respectful speaking which can ultimately infiltrate and strengthen one’s life beyond the group
- a counter-culture approach to the problem solving, analytical, fast-paced world we often find ourselves in.
