WELCOME

15th annual Labor Day Weekend
CHANGING PLANET, CHANGING LIVES
at Tara's Meadow, Beaver Island, Michigan
 SEPTEMBER 2nd thru 5th, 2011
            We stand before a great storm
          When we embrace it with our whole selves,
        We journey to the heights of our consciousness,
      Acting as a beacon for ourselves and others

How will we survive, and hopefully thrive, on our rapidly changing planet?  How will we meet the radical climate shifts and social upheavals underway?  What role will a renewed sense of community play, in engaging both the tragedies and the opportunities ahead?

Come explore with us some powerful tools for “welcoming the uncertainty” of a future unknown.  Join us for this powerful Labor day weekend journey of discovery on beautiful Beaver Island.  Together we’ll touch deeply into our inner skills for personal and planetary resilience.

We’ll begin with our shared stories, our collective awareness of what is unfolding on our planet today.  We’ll share with unflinching realism the latest observations, research, and predictions for our uncertain future.  We’ll explore what adaptations are likely necessary for our survival and the resilience of our
  ♦ communities
  ♦ agriculture
  ♦ forests and biosphere.

Most importantly during this retreat, our focus will be tapping into our own inner resources for personal resilience.  This is an experiential workshop that will incorporate tools of meditation, shamanic journeying, and experiential exercises for awakening our instinct, insight, and intuition.
Our goals are to:
  • Explore what is known and unknown about the unfolding challenges
  • Tap into personal and planetary wisdom and courage
  • Improve relationships with self, community, and the whole web of life
  • Find inner strength to open to the crisis on this planet
  • Listen to our core center, and the deeper wisdom of the Earth
  • Feel empowered, and delighted, to share our personal gifts and medicine for this world.

With both strength and delicacy, we’ll look together at how to deepen our relationships with ourselves, with others, and with the planet.  By examining the ways that stress in our lives and on our planet is the force behind growth and transformation, we will gain tools to work with this creative stress and open more wholly into our full selves.  As we expand our perspectives on the upheaval in our world, we’ll begin to uncover its relationship to our health, passion, and the path we walk.
