Summer Workshop Series & Contemplative Wilderness Retreat
Our Summer Workshop Series is a comprehensive, experiential progression that moves you through deepening levels of self-awareness. The series consists of three weekend workshops over the course of two months, culminating in what we call Level 4, “Transformation” – a week of profound, contemplative retreat in the wilderness of the Mt. Shasta area.
This summer-long immersion, which includes an herbal cleanse, catalyzes a powerful turning point: What would life be if you were guided not by security-seeking, but by inspiration?
What can I expect from the Summer Series?
The Summer Series is a change agent that takes us from wanting to live differently to actually doing it. Real growth and change will always require a letting go of what we’ve known ourselves to be, so we can become mature and open, instead of defending against all that life brings. The Summer Series gives participants the space to look deeply within and learn how to cultivate the courage and focus necessary to take these steps. In the process, you will also gain awareness, tools and practices that help you alter the way you see yourself and navigate your world. In short, the Series will help you break through internal barriers and into a powerful, new way of being.
Summer Series Workshops:
-
Level 1: Initiation
The journey begins with the “Initiation” Retreat, which focuses on the feminine aspect within all of us - our relationship to our own vulnerability, how we learned to love, and the conditioned beliefs blocking our innate receptivity and openness.
-
Level 2: Inspiration
The Summer Series adventure continues with our “Inspiration” Retreat, a deep dive into the masculine principles of creativity, self-expression, passion and freedom.
-
Level 3: Integration
The third retreat in the series, “Integration”, is open only to those who have completed Levels 1 and 2. “Integration” unlocks the door to the deepest realization of who you are.
-
Level 4: Transcendence
The final step in this extraordinary process is our “Transcendence” Retreat, a profound week of solitary, contemplative reflection in the wilderness.
Who can participate?
Because of the immersive commitment and intensified content and pace of the Summer Series, the culminating retreat has special prerequisites. The weeklong wilderness retreat is the final step to deepen and anchor the awareness that emerges through the previous workshops and the in-depth mind/body cleanse that starts in early July. Contact us for more details.
