Three days to come home to yourself

A Day of Natural Great Peace

We'll take the day to cultivate a deep silence and stillness, the kind that can hold us steady in worrisome times. There will be time in nature, time in silence together and alone, walking, and simply connecting to the earth. We'll share with others on the same path and work through a few grounding free writing exercises, tools you can carry home with you long after the day ends. Whether you're new to contemplative practice or have been sitting for years, this is a day to practice, slow down, and come home to yourself.

"If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you." The Gospel of Thomas

The Integral Journal

We'll work with the Integral Journal, a method created by Joe Zarantonello, who runs the Looseleaf Hollow Guesthouse and trained under Ira Progoff, the psychotherapist behind the original Intensive Journal method. Over the day we'll take a snapshot of where your life is flowing right now, work through a current challenge or upset, and gather up your peak and valley experiences, the moments too important to forget. We'll close by naming a few lighthouses of your own, the hard-earned truths that keep you steady when life gets foggy. Bring a notebook and your favorite pen and leave with a practice you can use again and again.

The Somatic Enneagram

The somatic Enneagram takes a mindfulness practice and sets it inside a developed framework for spiritual growth. By recognizing our type's fixations, defense systems, and toolsets, we'll learn to notice overwhelm in the body, resource ourselves from within, and integrate the embodied wisdom that's already there, waiting to be tapped.
