 The Shalom Retreat™ is an intensive growth experience set in a loving and supportive community. Shalom Retreats are based on our understanding of love: More than anything else, we want to love and be loved. Love is a gift. Love is not time bound. Love is good will in action. Love is a response to need. Loving is an art. The skills of loving can be learned. They include seeing and hearing another, expressing good will, recognizing another’s right to think and feel as he/she does, and being fully present in our relationships with others. Through the practice of intentional loving, open space is created in which individuals can learn to express themselves with integrity, creativity and passion. Our ability to love and our life force can be blocked by unexpressed feelings of anger, fear and pain. By unblocking energy, we are able to reclaim our joy, passion and sexuality and to fully embody the Divine in our lives. A variety of techniques (e.g., guided fantasy, primal therapy, role-play, gestalt and bioenergetics) are used as a means for releasing and transforming repressed emotions, so that one’s passion for life may be fully realized. | ||

 We are hard-wired to seek the divine, to ask the question "Who am I?" Ironically, it is this very desire to know that prevents us from finding an answer. The divine is ungraspable and unknowable but it can be experienced. This retreat draws on Western psychology and Buddhist spirituality to offer a direct experience of our fundamental nature - the great I AM. We do this by taking a point of view beyond the self, beyond the limitations of ego. We can realize that who we are is ever-present, eternal and unchanging. We are bathed in the vastness of our essence and oneness with all things - this is home, our true nature. Realizing our I AM-ness is an essential aspect of being a fully integrated human being, living an embodied life with wisdom and compassion. | ||

Somewhere in the struggle to find "equality" between men and women over the last 40 years, we began to dilute our essential masculine and feminine qualities. "Good" male/female relationships were modeled as 50/50 compromises. Could it be, however, that we lost something along the way? Barra Kahn and Roger Telschow will lead an exploration this Saturday for women and men in the community. With the support of our peers, the intention is to honor and celebrate the sacred masculine and feminine in ourselves and in the opposite sex. You are invited into a dance of yin and yang that can enliven our relationships and rekindle a passion for life. | ||
