“It’s paradoxical and it’s fantastically benevolent that we can feel deeply in contact with the world around us as, and really only as, we cultivate that deep contact within ourselves.” ~ Judith Blackstone
“Everything that happens to you is your teacher… the secret is to learn to sit at the feet of your own life and be taught by it.” ~Polly Berends
Are you hungering to feel more connected to what matters in your life?
Are you weary from doing the next thing and the next without a pause?
You are invited to gather one Saturday a month through the remaining months of 2022 with others who are seeking
to live authentically from the deepest core of life.
“Safety is not the absence of threat. It is the presence of connection” ~Dr Gabor Mate.
This retreat series is grounded in the Circles of Trust® approach as described in Parker Palmer’s book, A Hidden Wholeness. This series is intended for anyone who wants to live and work more wholeheartedly.
Through slowing down and working in solitude and in community this retreat series experience promotes reflection, clarity and insight.
Since 1997 the Center for Courage & Renewal, through its international network of facilitators, has created a unique retreat-based approach to sustaining and renewing personal identity, professional integrity, and vocational vitality for people in all walks of life, particularly – but not limited to – those in the helping professions.
“Afraid that our inner light will be extinguished or our inner darkness exposed, we hide our true identities from each other. In the process, we become separated from our own souls. We end up living divided lives, so far removed from the truth we hold within that we cannot know the integrity that comes from being what you are.” ~ Parker J. Palmer, A Hidden Wholeness

You are welcome to participate in this series whether you are new to Circle of Trust® or have
have previously participated in retreats and Courage events.
The series will continue through 2022.
