SUMMARY:Touching the Earth – June Solstice Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Touching the Earth – 19-25th June Solstice Retreat\nAll the mytho-poets say the same thing – we must leave the village, enter the forest and return with the gift.\nTouching the Earth is a guided journey into human wholeness inspired by the work of Bill Plotkin and Joanna Macy. This is a nature-based retreat to support the journey of soul initiation, inspiration and encouragement to find the unique offering that is yours to make, a retreat to find, feel and fuel our belonging, confidence, resilience and creativity.\nWe will explore together through Open Floor movement inquiries, yoga, non-dual meditations, guided nature reflections, group singing and dreamwork. We will aspire to bring together our bodies, hearts and minds with instincts for wisdom in service to the Great Turning away from an Industrial Growth society towards a Life Sustaining one.\nCosts\nNon Wangapeka Member $698 + Dana/Koha\nMember $638 + Dana/Koha\nThese costs include accomodation in a hut or a private room unless stated otherwise; 3 nourishing meals each day, cooks fee, all teaching resources and access to three experienced guides.\nFacilitators\nJaime Howell\nJaime is a trained Wilderness Rites of Passage guide, Work That Reconnects facilitator and experienced teacher of Open Floor movement practice.
