What to Expect On Your Autumn Immersion Journey

• Four Days In Which You Step Out Of Time

We live into the Hero’s Journey by fully practicing the cycle of SEPARATION – INITIATION – RETURN. 

We leave behind everything that is familiar to us – people, places, routines, habits, etc.  This allows us to shed a familiar way of being, in order to open to the Journey that awaits us.

• Experience an Ally Group As a Living Presence

Many of us have been uncomfortable with groups, as they make us aware of our vulnerabilities, insecurities and shortcomings in social settings.  Yet these types of ‘Ally Groups’ are powerful vehicles for awakening new ways of perceiving and relating, and they provide new ways of experience one’s self as embodied and alive to the world.

We work to help each participant experience their ‘Ally Group’ as a resource and a support to them, allowing each person to go, with accompaniment, where they would never be able to go alone.

• Experience Conscious & Embodied Movement As A Group

We will be encouraged move our bodies, gently and in ways we would might not typically be conscious of in our daily lives.  These ways of moving take us beyond self-imposed limitations, and allow for new ways of thinking to spontaneously emerge from within.  

• Working With A Personal Edge

Each participant will have the opportunity to work on a personal limitation or block that tends to hold them back, or an area of struggle that causes them persistent stress or suffering.  As well, each participant will be provided with opportunities, with support, to transcend these obstacles, and enter new psychic territory.

• Engaging A Sense of Mystery

Those attending this particular immersion will have the chance to experience a gradual, yet profound sense of surrendering deeper and deeper into one’s self.  By doing so, participants find themselves becoming more vitally alive, as the encounter a sense of wordless awe and wonder at the edge of a mystery.  The challenge is to become deeply receptive to beauty and truth, the very things that can passionately move the self forward through new ways of thinking and spontaneously acting.
