“Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach” – Clarissa Pinkola Estés

These times call for change and you have heard the call. But what part are you to play in contributing to the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible? And how can you resource and sustain yourself with hope and inspiration on this journey? How can you align yourself with what these times ask of us and step back from that which keeps us stuck, individually and collectively?

Retreat, reflect and reconnect for a weekend that will hold and support you in rising to the great challenges and possibilities of our time.

This will be a weekend of deep nourishment and alignment that will braid together guided-meditation, solo reflection time, Nature-connection, group work, mindfulness and wisdom from The Work That Reconnects. Led by skilled facilitators Georgie Gilmore and Flo Scialom.

Come together for a journey that will assist you to…

• Do more of what matters: Uncover and clarify your purpose in these times of rapid change. Explore what it is that you can offer back to the web of life by connecting with a broader sense of kinship and interconnectedness with Nature.
• And do less of what doesn’t matter: Explore rest as a radical act, take time out for deep reflection and partake in practices that will resource you in creating change over time.

Tickets include meals and accommodation at Eden Rise, near Totnes, South Devon.
