Connect with self, nature and the heart of what truly matters on this weekend retreat deep in the Sussex countryside.
“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
This weekend retreat is an opportunity to pause and see ourselves and our world afresh.
We’re in a period of profound disruption and transition. Many of our institutions are faltering and failing: the old ways cannot hold. The multiple crises are calling for a radical response from each of us – radical meaning going to the root (radix).
What does a meaningful life look like now? Where do we choose to place our attention?
This retreat will give us the time and space to slow down and turn our attention inwards drawing on our intuitive and embodied ways of knowing, and outwards connecting to our sources of inspiration and the wisdom of the natural world. We’ll explore our sources of meaning, not as ideas but as lived experience. And we’ll give time to explore how you sustain yourself whilst living in the gap between your deepest aspirations and everyday reality.
Co-hosted by John Watters and myself, this weekend retreat is a call to come home to ourselves and connect to the heart of what truly matters.
John Watters is a facilitator with the Center for Courage and Renewal. He brings to the retreat a distinctive set of principles and practices, pioneered by Dr. Parker J. Palmer and developed through the Center for Courage & Renewal, practices that help create gracious, trustworthy space for your individual reflection and which will guide our interactions as a group.
During the weekend we will weave together a tapestry of colourful threads as we uncover our sources of meaning through poetry, music, silence, the sharing of stories, being immersed in nature, walking a hand-painted 11 circuit canvas labyrinth, somatic movement, creative activities and simple meditative practices.
