Upcoming Retreats
Wholeness & Renewal
as the World Shifts
September 24 - October 29
7:00 - 9:00 pm ET
Online
$100
There’s no question, profound shifts are happening in the world. Some feel joyous, others deeply concerning. New, exciting ideas are rising, while once reliable beliefs fade. In the midst of this dynamic time, it takes courage and insight to find your feet.
Whether in the life of an individual or a society, shifts may be accompanied by feelings of confusion or excitement; a sense of hope or a loss of meaning. How do we maintain our relevance as the world changes?
In this six-week retreat series, we’ll seek the solid ground within. We’ll explore how the changes happening around us and within us affect our professional and personal lives. We’ll examine how we can stay true to our values and work with our gifts, so we may continue to contribute to a more loving, just, and sustainable world.
If you’re wondering how to navigate the path ahead with integrity and grace, consider joining us for Wholeness & Renewal as the World Shifts. Our work together will be grounded in the Courage & Renewal Approach. Gentle, time-tested guidelines will support a protected and confidential space to reflect on what is most meaningful to you, and intentionally structured conversations will lead to greater discernment.
Autumn's Paradox
A Saturday Circle of Trust
September 28
9:15 –11:45am EDT
Toronto & Online
$25 in-person / $20 online
“Autumn is a season of great beauty, but it is also a season of decline.”
The September equinox offers a rare moment of balance between light and dark. No matter where you are on this planet, day and night are of equal length. In the northern hemisphere it marks the transition to the fall season and all that holds. The abundance of the harvest, the vibrance of the changing leaves, the perturbing cooler temperatures, and the bleakness of the now bare trees.
Autumn’s Paradox: A Saturday Circle of Trust® invites us to ponder the paradoxes in our lives and how we balance them. How do we hold the beauty and joy together with sadness and grief?
Images, texts and music will spark reflection and open fresh perspectives. There will be time for quiet reflection, small and large group conversation. Gentle, time-tested guidelines will support a calm, confidential and protected space. This is an opportunity for you to focus on what matters most in this season of your life.
Autumn’s Paradox is designed as a 2.5 hour hybrid retreat. Registrants can participate either in-person or online.
We’ll bring the online and in-person settings together in a balanced and purposeful way. In-person, we’ll gather at the Centre for Social Innovation (Spadina) in Toronto. Zoom will offer a gathering space for those attending online and allow for interactions among all participants. There will be private time away from the group and the screen for contemplation, reflection and movement.
You could join us.
