Why does this program exist?
We live in a world where the potential for connection is at our fingertips at all times, yet often our true needs for authentic relationships are rarely met. Perhaps, we find ourselves wanting to be seen and known and at the same time, wanting to hide. We yearn for deep connection with ourselves and others and even something greater; and yet are simultaneously afraid of it and unsure of how to get these needs met.
The inspiration for this group is a desire to bring these topics to light and to discover what deep connection and community truly feels like. We will create a safe space for sharing, listening and learning with input from the hearts and souls of those involved. The beautiful, wild land along the river will inform our time together and be a mirror for our process. As we nurture our creative abilities, we are shown the power of what we are capable of when we collaborate.
Our need for connection is not only essential for mental health and wellbeing, but studies show that it is also one of the biggest predictors of success in the workplace. When we practice navigating the nuances of relationships between self, other humans and the Earth, we can transfer these skills to be successful in all areas of our lives. This is a success that is not based on outward appearances or external pressure, but rather, one that allows us to emerge from within to offer our unique gifts to the world.
