Calling Back Your Spirit – Embrace the natural richness of fire, air, water and earth

Yellowstone Hot Springs Retreat to Harvest, Reflect, Create & Balance - where the waters meet the big sky! We invite you to stop…have space in nature to listen and feel the whispers of your soul. Just be. Experience the richness & peacefulness in this lush fall retreat.

 

Join us for this autumnal retreat at the peaceful Yellowstone Hot Springs in Montana’s Paradise Valley, northern entrance to Yellowstone National Park.  We will draw upon our reciprocal relationship with nature to release stress, rebalance and play in such a peaceful, majestic location and express gratitude for life itself.

Change is the way of life that has an ebb and flow of perpetual transcendence. Rest and rejuvenation is also part of natural cycles.

Drawing from the powerful Courage & Renewal® approach, particularly centering our conversational guidelines. Together we’ll co-create a trustworthy space to be authentic and time for you to listen to your own inner teacher (this inner place of knowing).

This Circle of Trust (COT) is distinguished by principles and practices intended to create supportive communities of reflection and belonging that help people move towards personal and societal wholeness.*

Through large group, small group, and individual reflection, along with wisdom stories, creative expression, poetry and body-awareness practices, you will experience…

  • Invitation to participate in a way that is meaningful for you
  • Personal time to wander and commune with the natural beauty and express your own creativity, i.e. daydreaming, water coloring, journaling, or walking Yellowstone River
  • Clearness Committee®, based on a 300-year-old tradition, is for anyone facing an important crossroad in their life. This process is respectfully supported through a confidential and enlightening process.
  • Reflection on what it means to you to find the sacred in this setting, and
  • Exploring how this liminal space between late fall and early winter support you in your journey of life

*Read more about  Courage & Renewal® approach and concepts from Parker J. Palmer’s book, A Hidden Wholeness.

All are welcome!  Given the time of year, you are also invited to find a sense of interconnectedness despite divides that might exist in our nation and world.  We hope you join us. Join us under the big Montana sky to gaze up at the Milky Way on a clear, starlit night.
