“A bird not does sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.” – Chinese Proverb
How do we hold the tension between the opposites in today’s world, stay open to uncertainty, and cultivate curiosity about the unknown? This retreat offers an opportunity to illuminate your own voice and path – drawing from your inner landscape so vital to the individuation journey. Rooted in moving and witnessing practice, we will nurture creativity and further clarity through the exploration of gesture, touch, sound, words, song, art, dreams, and nature. Discovering ways to enrich yourself can deepen the centering, self-reflective capacities and compassion that allow you to find your place in the world.
We see, experience, and are moved by each other. We also tend to project onto ‘the other’ when there are differences. Witnessing is the practice of seeing, being seen; hearing, being heard; and opening to other perspectives – developing more patience, respect, and comfort with paradox.
Drawing from the work of Jungian Theory, Authentic Movement, BodySoul® Work, somatics, dreaming, drawing, voice exploration, and writing, we will explore the individuation journey in relation to bodily experience in the process of healing and transformation. Together, we can learn from and support each other in building a resourceful community.
This retreat is designed for those with a depth of experience in Authentic Movement, welcoming healing practitioners, clinicians, educators, artists, and those interested in growth and matters of the spirit.
Nestled in Tuscany’s beautiful rolling hills and vineyards, the private retreat center offers a peaceful, inspiring setting for self-renewal. Walking trails, delicious Tuscan cooking and a swimming pool enhance the experience.
