Grace and Reflection: A Courage & Renewal® Weekend

Grace and Reflection: A Courage & Renewal® Weekend

Each day of renewal will include creating a quiet, focused, and enlivened space—a Circle of Trust®—where personal, inner wisdom can be heard. There will be a mix of time spent in large group, small group, and individual reflection along with poetry, teaching stories, wisdom traditions, nature, and activities for exploration. 

We will use these experiences and other rich metaphors to symbolize and discover and explore life questions. Together, we will experience creating spaces in our lives to tend and nurture our desire to live fully with courage and resilience.

• Revitalize your commitment to the values that give meaning to your life.
•  Increase your ability to listen openly and be present.
• Learn reflective practices to become more intentional.
• Explore questions to build and sustain community.
• Expand trustworthy and authentic relationships.

The Circle of Trust approach is based on the work of Dr. Parker J. Palmer, Founder and Senior Partner Emeritus of the Center for Courage & Renewal, who is a world-renowned writer, speaker and activist. Explore the principles, practices and resources from the Center for Courage & Renewal: https://couragerenewal.org/courage-renewal-approach/
