There are two parts to this “Re-Envision” caretaking retreat:
To become effective in taking care of mother Earth and tending to urgent world issues, we first need to tend to our basic needs for rest, good nutrition, and well-being, nurture our inner peace, and water the seeds of joy in us.
Also, by coming close and becoming intimate with fellow visionaries, in the spirit of inter-connectedness, we are infused with fresh energy and inspiration and thus discover new ways of “Right Action” in the world.
Join us in this 2-Step Caretaking Retreat
Step 1—Cultivating Joy & Taking Care of Ourselves
Many activists who are trying to do good things for the world, suffer from energy depletion and burn out. While doing the hard work of giving our very best to our life and to this planet, it helps to remember to nurture ourselves and to keep watering the seeds of joy in us. This way the hard work of saving the planet, with all its enormity, actually becomes a joyful activity.
In this caretaking retreat, in the magical nature of Mani, activists and all those who would like to consider positive action in the world, are invited to join us in the daily healing practices of caretaking for ourselves while in community.
