What we’re looking for is the patterns common to your interactions with your partner, your colleagues, your siblings, and your friends. To find, without blame, what you bring to the table.

Blooming in Adversity:

Building Resilience, Strength & Wholeness April 3-5, 2002

What are you called to in these times? How will we cultivate the inner resources to meet the challenges before us? What gifts do you carry and how can you find the courage to offer them? These are the questions of our time.

This experience will offer you the opportunity to explore your unique path. It will also strengthen your ability to create and be in sacred community. Through journaling, sharing our stories, and healing movement techniques, participants will deepen their practice of giving and receiving care, creating transformative connection while building personal resiliency.
