An invitation to inquire
into the edge of our knowing...
|
In a world that appears fragmented and polarized, one of the most powerful and surprising aspects of consciousness is the capacity to hold opposites together in creative tension. Unlocking this capacity is a key to wholeness: a way to re-member parts of ourselves which have become lost or inhibited and re- calling our purpose in the larger world.
Can we say yes to a journey of unfolding wisdom, a reciprocal relationship between ourselves and all life? The practice of leadership requires each of us to trust and access our own interior world while also participating and contributing to larger organizational and cultural systems. Come join us for an exploration into the realm of paradox, the harmony of contradictions, and the felt sense of belonging to a community of seekers, change makers, and consciousness pioneers. Be prepared to stretch conceptually and emotionally via experiential exercises and creative expression. The retreat is designed for individuals who work with groups in their capacity as leaders, consultants, facilitators, and change agents. It is also meant for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of the practice of leadership and social transformation. It is especially relevant for individuals interested in collaborative group processes that are emergent and designed for creating authentic connection and generative dialogue. We hope you will join us! Download the flyer to learn more... Testimonials |

"The unfolding retreat was a perfect merging of intellectual and spiritual qualities as an experience. I found the design of the days and each activity to have a depth of intention behind it all. The group of people that responded to the call were wonderful and wonderfully diverse. I hold those days as special in my heart. This retreat brought to my deep inquiry around the needed social transformation of humanity to a new level of expansion. Thank you Kathia & Alan for holding space so beautifully."

“The Unfolding Wisdom retreat was a true gift. The gathering of a group from a great variety of cultures, experiences and faith traditions brought incredible richness to the shared wisdom. We were lead in a process that gave me new understanding of and language for concepts with which I was familiar and, by doing this, opened the door to expanded relationships. The richness of the experience continues to inform my spirit and my thinking as I return to my ordinary life.”
—BB, Catholic nun (past participant) |

Abandon the urge to simplify everything, to look for formulas and easy answers, and to begin to think multidimensionally, to glory in the mystery and paradoxes of life, not to be dismayed by the multitude of causes and consequences that are inherent in each experience — to appreciate the fact that life is complex. |
