Touching the Earth Solstice Retreat

1 Photo by Johannes Plenio small.jpeg

All the mytho-poets say the same thing - we must leave the village, enter the forest and return with the gift. Touching the Earth is a guided journey inspired by the work of Bill Plotkin and Joanna Macy. It is a nature-based journey of soul; a retreat to embody your true belonging, confidence, resilience and creativity. It will lead you ever closer to a conversation with the living earth.

 

We will explore together through Open Floor movement inquiries, non-dual meditations, guided nature reflections and dreamwork. We will aspire to bring together our bodies, hearts and minds with instincts for wisdom in service to the Great Turning away from an Industrial Growth society towards a Life Sustaining one.

 

This is a 7 day residential retreat with private spaces, all meals provided in beautiful valleys and mountains of the Wangapeka. Facilitated by Jaime Howell, Rene Aish & Juliette McConachy

26th March Chandrakirti Music Day, Upper Moutere. 

Concert for the Great Turning

The Great Turning is a phrase coined by Joanna Macy, a living myth for our time. It speaks to the necessary transition from an techno-industrial growth society to a greener self sustaining society.

Jaime recites poems by David Whyte, Mary Oliver and other soul poets to weave a transformative and inspiring journey with original songs and interactive conscious dance into the spirit of the Great Turning
