Special Retreat Partnership Program

A very special opportunity!
All activists are invited on an experiential adventure to cultivate the innate resources needed to be effective change-makers through nature-based holistic practices. This special opportunity to experience this work is being offered at a discount for activists in order to support their contribution to the “Great Turning”. These grant subsidized scholarships are the result of a collaboration between The Inner Resilience Network, Transition US and Animas Valley Institute.
Joining us for this retreat, we are partnering with James Prieto, Trainer Certified from the Center for Nonviolent Communication.
This intensive is designed to give you the ability to cultivate inner-resources for self-healing to support your efforts in co-creating the world we all want to live in.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Animas Valley Institute will bring their 5-day “Wild Mind” journey, a soul stirring process reconnecting to a nature-based way of understanding and living and inviting new understandings for your life. This program will be led by one of AVI's top guides, Brian Stafford and supported by James Prieto who is completing his Wild Mind guiding practicum.
The Wild Mind intensive will support you in cultivating the personal resilience needed for a nourishing and life sustaining culture that is more immune from the stresses of burnout and conflict - and towards authentic purpose, essential self-care and collaborative leadership that our world is longing for.
We’ll explore the landscape of the psyche through a variety of practices, including creative expression, self-designed ceremony, solo exercises while wandering on the land, group work, movement, voice dialogue, journaling, and deep imagery work. Together we will learn how to discover and integrate the untapped resources, depths and potential of our innate human wholeness. We will also learn how to integrate our childhood experiences and transform them into the realization of our true selves.
