In the Beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains Near Asheville, North Carolina
We
live in challenging times. Global climate change, peak oil, species
extinction, degradation of our food supplies, increased mental and
emotional woe, stress and depression abound as we march past the
brink of catastrophe. Never have modern humans been forced to deal
with so much degradation at one time.
This workshop provides an opportunity to learn the tools of Ecopsychology and Gestalt Therapy in exploring grief and healing around the dilemmas of living in an age of eco-catastrophe. Together we will remember, reconnect and rejuvenate through the exploration of our ecological selves. Reestablish the joy and connectedness you once had as a small child marveling at the star filled evening sky, the crash of ocean waves and the sway of towering trees. And bring that sense of connection forward, into your everyday life as you navigate the challenges of the current age. We will engage in discussion, experiential activities and co-creative ritual throughout the event.
We will begin our time together at 7:00pm on Friday evening and conclude at 1:00pm on Sunday.
Accommodations: Our overnight retreat will take place just 12 miles NW of Asheville at a private, multi-bedroom home that sits on 5 acres of land amidst rolling hills and fields with views of the surrounding mountains. There is a full kitchen, living room and group gathering space as well as a screened in porch. There is also an outdoor firespit, walking trails, and a delightful stone circle. Both indoor sleeping and camping options are available.
Meals: Light snacks will be provided Friday evening. Breakfast lunch and dinner (gluten free and vegetarian options) will be provided Saturday and breakfast will be provided on Sunday morning.
The cost for all three days (including meals ) is $350 for in-house lodging and $275 if camping. Committed couple and students discounts are available (please contact directly for details)
