We live in restless times, globally, nationally and personally. The climate crisis, Covid 19, war in many parts of our world, escalating cost of living and injustice in its many guises impact most of us in one way or another.
Personally, we have all encountered losses, whether of health, relationships, career or how we once imagined our lives would be. When we find ourselves in challenging times, we can become disconnected from our inner wisdom and our needs for nourishment, connection and community become clearer.
We invite you to gift yourself the time and space in a retreat that offers an opportunity to listen to your inner wisdom in a supportive and confidential setting which will help you find everyday solace in these restless times.
Courage and Renewal® retreats are based on the work of Dr. Parker J. Palmer and the Center for Courage & Renewal. They nurture supportive communities of reflection and practice to help us come alive with a renewed sense of purpose and facilitate us to cultivate the courage to overcome challenges, thus making a difference both in ourselves and in our families and communities.
In this retreat, we will come together as individuals and as a community in a way that honours both our solitude and our togetherness. We will maintain an intimate and confidential community with a maximum of 16 participants.
Everything is invitational in large and small group conversations, with time for journaling, reflection, listening, sharing and silence. We will draw on poems, stories, music and wisdom traditions to inspire our journey together towards wholeness.
The retreat will include clearness committees – a unique and valuable process that supports individuals to raise an issue or dilemma for discernment in a small and safe Circle of Trust ©
This retreat is suitable for anyone who would like time to reflect on their inner life and role in the world. If you are curious about or seek a more fully authentic life, then this retreat is for you!
