Our goal is seize the opportunity for change. We are living in a time of great historical significance, an era that includes a health crisis, a climate crisis, an ongoing war, and social, economic, racial and political disruption to a degree that has fostered a collective awakening to the global need for change.
The purpose of this retreat is to encourage healthy living, provide a practical experience with Mind-Body Medicine and plant the seeds for a conscious and healthier experience of life the way it shows up, so that we can be more deliberate about the power we each have to choose the way we experience life going forward.
According to the I-Ching (aka the Book of Change) when things reach an extreme, they often shift to their opposite. Throughout history, change is often necessitated only out of the most extreme conditions and challenges. An earthquake will produce new land. A forest can burn to the ground, and the ground becomes fertile soil for the growth of a new forest. An animal can die and fertilize the grass for many more animals to live. Like the winter solstice, when days reach their darkest, the light is closest to its homecoming. The most profound change is occurring as the caterpillar liquifies before it becomes a butterfly. What can you become?
