Retreats and the Power of Pause

Send us Fan MailCurrently I have a lot of energy around a retreat I'm planning this May (Awakened Hearts - May 2-5 in Marin County) and so with retreats on my mind and my heart I chose that as the topic for this month's solo podcast. In this episode I share about me experience as the Executive Director of Easton Mountain (a LGBTQ retreat center in upstate NY) and what I learned and gained from that experience. Particularly I share about what I overserved and learned about retreats from living at and running a retreat center for those years. I also share about what I've experienced as a retreat producer, host, and facilitator- as well as my experience as a participant of many retreats. I share what I find valuable about them and what makes them a powerful and effective medicine. I also share about what I have come to observe are some of the effective best practices for creating safe, effective, transformational retreats.  I offer some tips to folks who may be considering planning a retreat, and also offer ways you can have a retreat like experience without signing up for a retreat (i.e. like some do it yourself guidelines).  Get more info on the Awakened Hearts retreat, May 2nd - 5th in Marin County, CA - https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/eventsSupport the show
