Relate, Reflect, Renew
With Gregory Flynn and Shannon Patterson
October 6 - 9, 2023
Whidbey Institute
Building on the themes of our two previous retreats—Renewal and Resilience—we invite you into an exploration—and direct experience—of Relating. We are always -- consciously and unconsciously -- relating to ourselves, to one another, and to our world. Our ways of relating strongly influence and shape our lives -- for better and worse. Getting out of the “rapids on the surface of our lives” -- if only for a weekend -- gives us the chance to connect with the “calm currents in our depths”. Give yourself the gift of (re)connecting to it. Relating from that place in you changes everything. For the better.
