We’re living at a critical moment which contains both great peril and promise. The challenges we face are simultaneously socio-political, cultural and spiritual. It is a historical point of disruption demanding radical transformation. To meet this crisis, we need strategies for deep change on multiple levels.
The fierce urgency of the climate crisis, combined with the twilight of neoliberalism, impoverished political leadership, and an increasing sense of distributive injustice, are the cracks out of which something new must emerge.
This training-retreat is for people who hear this historic call to action, but want to find tools and perspectives that can help us to avoid the common pitfalls of reproducing in ourselves and our groups the problems we are trying to challenge.
This training-retreat will help us to develop skills and understanding, as well as deeper resources that can help us to play an empowered and effective part. We will take an integral and radical approach to practice, both ‘inner’ and ‘outer’, honouring interconnectedness at all levels. It requires an ability to hold oneself and the world in one seamless image, and act accordingly.
