Geography of Grace Retreat
Tuesday, September 2, 2:00 – Saturday, September 6, 2:00
How do you tend your inner geography – islands, deserts, rivers, mountains?
Who is in your Forest Community? Let rich metaphors from the natural world help you
to embark on an inward journey. The experience is enriched when it unfolds in the
context of nature, in the forest… by the river…in the mountains at Mimanagish.
In this time of gentle and essential spirit-tending a small group creates a Circle of Trust,
practices honest and open questions, and helps “hear each other into deeper
speech.” Each of the four days includes two sessions along with time to process in the
nourishing beauty of the Boulder River valley. Poetry, images, and essays help
participants to access their Inner Teachers. Journal prompts invite open-hearted writing
or art. “Touchstones” help assure safe space and shape individual sharing, which is
always by invitation, not demand. The approach respects the diversity of each person’s
beliefs.
Enjoy free time for hiking, fishing, reading, walking the labyrinth, and other creative
endeavors…all in the healing context of Mimanagish. Circles of Trust are based on the
work of Parker Palmer, founder of the Center for Courage and Renewal, American
author, activist and wisdom-sharer.
