We are hard-wired to seek the divine, to ask the question "Who am I?" Ironically, it is the very desire to know that prevents us from finding an answer. The divine is ungraspable and unknowlable 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.

Loving relationship is a great gift. It both comforts and challenges us, providing an experience of acceptance and home and calling us to be everything we are: powerful, compassionate, spiritual erotic people. Conscious partnership is a spiritual practice that calls us to expand our capacity to live with loving acceptance and compassion for self and other, seeing one another as holy and perfect. On this retreat, each couple will have focused time to work in the group. We will practice the arts of being great lovers.

Your voice is an incredible tool for healing and power. To sing, authentically and unreservedly, can be an ecstatic experience. We'll uncover the vocal gifts that we were all born with, fostering courage and helping us to feel at home with our voices. Working both individually and in small groups, we will use a combination of body mapping, meditation, yoga and nature to ignite passion for the singing experience. Come and set your voice free no matter if you are a chorister, opera singer, shower singer or just sing your children to sleep at night.

Spontaneity.  Humor.  Flow.  Surrendering to the moment.  This is how community member Michelle James describes this month's CSL experience.  Get ready for an active, high-energy workshop using improv and movement to set our creative spirit on fire.    We've been trained, traumatized, and socialized out of the natural spontaneity of our spirit.  This highly interactive session will renew your sense of trust and openness through laughter, awareness, letting go of perfectionism, and quieting the inner critic. 
Michelle has performed imrov theater for 11 years, and is founder of the Center for Creative Emergence and the Capitol Creativity Network.  She is a pioneer in the field, using improv and movement for business and personal transformation.
