Retreat-Workshop
: Moving Forward
(4 days/5
nights : arr. Sun 30th Sep, dep. Fri 5th Oct : £530 or €595)
“This is where I start from”
The world
is waiting for your next step.
Exaggeration? Not as much as you
think. How you are with the next person
you meet will have a ripple effect far beyond anything you can see. What you do (or don’t do) when you get up
tomorrow will change what others do in ways you would not be able to imagine.
You can be
the oil which allows the machine to run smoothly; or you can be the grit that
wears down the bearings.
You can be
the gas which shifts it up a gear or the worn cogs which hold it back.
This
retreat workshop will be equally divided between individual work and work in a
group and with others. The individual
work (through one-to-one sessions, reflective questionnaires and exercises) are
about working out “where you are” and discovering your natural dispositions
and your personal style for “starting from here”.
The group
work will be about finding ways to be yourself while allowing others to be
themselves, which will draw on the ideas of Martin Buber and others, and then moving forward on your own path through a mutual process.
As with all
our retreats, the sense of being a part of a community, but also being able to
be apart, will be respected. There will
be time for reflection and time for enquiry, a time for working at new skills
and a time for simply sitting and chatting and joining the company for good
local food and wine. |
