Many of us feel a deep calling to be in this world with a heart for peace and justice. We may wonder “How can I best serve, what might I best offer?” and “How can I fortify and sustain my spirit with clarity and courage?” This retreat offers spacious time to pause and rest, with an invitation for reflective inner work and meaningful connection in community with other changemakers. A time to quiet the outside noise and distractions, so we may nourish the tender shoots of what most matters to us.
This retreat is grounded in the Courage & Renewal® approach. Our retreat format will be balanced with a mix of large and small group times and quiet individual reflective space. Offerings of poetry, story and wisdom teachings, music, expressive and restorative experiences will be invitations for our wonderings, reflections and sharing.
We are planning to offer clearness committees.
Wondering if this retreat is right for you? Here’s what one Circle of Trust participant has to say:
“I have benefitted from the rhythm and practices of Circle of Trust retreats over three decades- almost all my entire working life. I return out of my need for quiet, trustworthy, and unbounded space to hear my inner voice in concert with other voices of wisdom and courage, and to renew my sense of vocation.”
