The Journey to Wholeness: A Courage & Renewal Exploration on Bowen Island

The retreat is guided by Dan and Robyn, who have facilitated Circles for thousands of participants. The lineage and wisdom of Parker J. Palmer and the Center for Courage & Renewal provide a way of being together.

There is a yearning in us for living wholeheartedly.

As each of us emerges from these years of uncertainty, flux, and pandemic, we can come together to discover our true selves. We can learn how to bring together soul and role: to experience an undivided life.

The retreat is guided by Dan and Robyn, who have facilitated Circles for thousands of participants. The lineage and wisdom of Parker J. Palmer and the Center for Courage & Renewal provide a way of being together.

Each morning, Robyn guides embodied practices of yoga, breathwork and meditation to help integrate the fullness of our shared learning. As well, we will experience Clearness Committees, a disciplined two hour discernment process originating from the Quaker tradition.

In this process a person who longs for clarity – transitional, vocational, relational, or spiritual – has an opportunity to be the “focus person” while a prepared “committee” of others listens and asks open questions. In a Circle of Trust, thoughtful principles and practices create a trustworthy, brave space of attention, imagination, and confidential conversations.

One price includes private or shared rooms (please indicate at registration) and all meals from Thursday evening dinner to Sunday breakfast.

Wholeness does not mean perfection: it means embracing brokenness as an integral part of life.
