How do we move from fear to a world we can love? How can we face the crises of our time with heartfelt and actionable responses? We are on the brink of profound planetary change in a time ripe with potential. If there was ever a moment to think about who you are and how you will live in the world, it is now.
Join us for an experiential retreat to live fully now and into the future with joy and ease. Rewilding our hearts involves leaning into and metabolizing the truths that we know to move toward personal and collective transformation.
Through conversation and meditation, we will explore both the state of the planet and human feedback loops that contribute to our suffering. We’ll engage in practices for healing climate grief and connecting to the wild as our teacher. We will cultivate equanimity and eco-community through deep listening to the wisdom of sky, water, earth, wind, plants, and animals as we meditate on the true nature within and around us.
We need not feel powerless and depleted in the face of climate change. Inner cultivation, communal support, and Earth herself offer boundless possibilities to buoy and empower us.
Recommended Reading: The Wakeful Body by Willa Blythe Baker, A Future We Can Love by Susan Bauer-Wu and “Embodiment”, Insights Essay, Mind & Life Institute by Willa Blythe Baker
