Through observation, meditation, and journaling, we will explore our spirituality in nature as we go through the seasons of the year. We will meet for two hours, each season, outside to observe nature during that season. We will then go inside to journal and reflect on how our spirituality has responded to what we witnessed.

Life is a continuous cycle of beginnings and endings. Yet, as humans, we often struggle to embrace endings.

In this workshop, we explore the nature of grief and how to navigate loss—whether it’s as small as an unexpected event cancellation or as profound as the passing of a loved one.

Through this process, we uncover ways to find new meaning and move forward with greater openness.

AM Session: 

World faiths and psychological analyses all agree: Communication expresses the real intention of the speaker and is the main tool we have to communicate, confront and persuade. We all know this and we all know that it can be hard. Sometimes we need to adjust, not just our words, but our inner intention, to formulate a question that can open and touch the heart of the other person. 

During the morning session, we will review some of the rich and varied religious and psychological teachings about effective communication. Applying these teachings can affect not only the person we are speaking to. It can also help us center, know ourselves and speak the truth; a true tool for evolution.

PM Session:

In the afternoon we will practice some of the theory we learned in the morning session. We will experience exercises for asking open-ended questions, compassionate confrontation, and preparing ourselves for difficult conversations.

Lunch is included.
