Holding Change with Courage: A Circle of Trust Retreat

“There is no power greater than a community discovering what it cares about.”
~Margaret Wheatley

It’s autumn. The leaves, changing, letting go; the ripe fruit, harvested; the world, uncertain. How are you holding change for yourself and others? What do you need now? What does the world need from you now? How can we hold change in ways that support connection and healing for ourselves and our communities?

Are you a change-maker in need of rest, renewal? Join Courage & Renewal facilitators Dawn Montgomery, Julie Johnson, and Kirstin Anglea along with  fellow change-makers to disconnect from the pace and distractions of daily life to take stock of where we are, harvest the wisdom received from this past year and attend to our inner teacher and to one another. It requires courage to drop everything and enter the “portal” rest provides, allowing time to nourish you, change you.  Return to your communities with strength, courage, presence and compassion.

What to Expect: At a Circle of Trust® retreat, we move at the pace of invitation with plenty of time for solitude and reflection. Guided by the principles and practices of the Center for Courage & Renewal®, this retreat will provide opportunities to:

• Discover a place of solitude in community where you can seek renewal and clarity of purpose.
• Reflect on who you are, and on the invitation to connect who you are with what you do.
• Learn healthy ways to embrace paradox and hold tension in life-giving ways.
• Be within a community of mutual respect and caring that welcomes the soul.
• Participate in a Clearness Committee, , designed after the powerful Quaker problem-solving model from the 1600’s.
