A Pilgrimage of Soul for Intergenerational Women

Come with your courageous soul-mates, in two’s or three’s, youngers and olders. Honoring the sacred rhythms of the seasons in multi-generational community with the goal of individual and local community renewal. A series of virtual and in-person retreats rooted in the Courage & Renewal® approach. Together we will form a diverse community of learning, co-creating, loving, and tending the garden of Soul.

INTENTION: to inspire triads and dyads of those who identify as woman. Soul friends from a local area, family, or cultural /artistic / activist / service / faith organization coming together to learn and grow on behalf of the land and communities we live in. This offers the opportunity for in-between practices, check-ins and action steps with the same learning partners over the year.

WHY? Each of us is alive and moving in spheres of communal involvement – with close friends, partners, family, work, social activism, faith communities, business relationships. We have been doing this our whole lives with a multitude of varying degrees of connection and influence.  No matter our age, we each have inner longings to change and bring change into all these spheres to create the world we all know is possible. We see the need and desire to influence and be influenced with the soulful power of both personal and collective intimacy and authenticity. We are a community-in-process – inside and outside!

We each have the fiery birthright capacity to be elders-in-training to serve as channels of life energy on behalf of the greater village we live in.

We are aware of the urgent need to activate Earth’s natural healing energies in many forms – individually and collectively. Where our human systems are breaking down, we dream for new ways for sustainability as psycho-spiritual and embodied humanity – as living, networking members of Mother Earth.

Consider your engagement in this 2024 challenge as an emergent form of Earth’s longing for healing and wholeness – a fresh direction of sparking SoulFire in your own life and community!

 

​”By doing one learns; with study one refines; through dreaming one creates; in loving one fulfills.
Such is the secret for tending to the perennial garden of our soul.​”   from don Oscar Miro-Quesada
