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.

• Experiencing an Ally Group As a Living Presence

Many of us are uncomfortable with groups, as they make us aware of our vulnerabilities, insecurities and shortcomings in social settings.  Yet these Ally Groups are powerful vehicles for awakening to new ways of relating, and new ways of experience one’s self 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 support, where they would never be able to go alone.

• Experiencing A Physical Challenge As A Group

We literally go where we would never go typically in our daily life, moving us beyond our self- imposed limitations, and allowing for new capacities to emerge from within.  For this coming autumn immersion, we will climb the Via Ferrata at Nelson Rocks. 

This experience will offer you a sense of exposure to vastness and wonder that only experienced rock climbers get to do – without the technical skills required.  The challenge will be more psychological than physical, despite some of the rigorous effort necessary to climb the metal rungs in the rock.

• 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 stress or suffering. As well, each participant will receive opportunities, with support, to transcend these obstacles, and gain new ways of perceiving these obstacles

As a result, those attending this particular immersion will have the chance to experience a sense of awakening and becoming more vitally alive, as they face challenges and receive support to move themselves forward in new ways of thinking and acting.
