A More Beautiful World Week,
Formerly Sustainability
& Climate Justice Conference
August 2- 7
Our hearts know it, because we have seen it, experienced glimpses of what life and the world could be. Yet as individuals and a society, we carry habits and programs of the old and dying “Story of Separation.” We cannot easily know how to get from here to there. During this week-long retreat we will examine and release the old story, while together writing the new story; one of Interbeing. Using Charles Eisenstein’s book The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible as a guidepost, we will move through dissolving and distilling the issues of climate change, politics, healthcare, economics, isolation, dissatisfaction, lack of purpose… and recognizing all of these as symptoms of being caught in the old story.
Visual Arts Week
August 20 - 26
Join fellow visual artists for our first annual gathering to retreat and explore.Enjoy workshops and time-on-your-own to create in the splendor of the temperate rainforest by waterfalls, grand vistas and deep woods.
