Pause and Take Stock

Join us for “Grounding in Your Truth” a three day retreat over zoom to connect with yourself and others, and understand the impact the pandemic has had on your life.

 
 

What do you want to take with you and what do you want to leave behind?

We invite you to come together with likeminded folks to reflect on the past 12 months.

Our themes will be Review (Day 1) Re-Choose (Day 2) and Reposition (Day 3).

Here are our guiding questions

  • In what ways has this pandemic been a force of destruction, construction, pain and or healing in your life?

  • Who were you, who have you become, and who are you becoming?

  • What futures are gone, and which are now possible?

This retreat will consist of five, live synchronous sessions on Zoom, one on the Friday evening, and two each on Saturday and Sunday. Each session will be no more than 90 minutes to minimize screen fatigue.

Activities will include self-reflective journaling, art-based introspection, circle discussion, and solitary venturing.

During our last session we will be joined by my friend and colleague Sarit Adri, who you can read more about here.

At the end of the weekend, our intention is for you to emerge with

  • reconnection to yourself and what is real and true for you

  • a sense of community and care

  • an opportunity to connect with your needs in this moment and tools to support you.
