Maine might seem far …. autumn beauty is worth the effort.
The retreat is facilitated by Dharma Teacher and Certified NonViolent Communication Trainer, Peggy Smith, and Dharma Teacher, Theodate Lawlor and is supported by Dharma teacher Marty Soule, OI member and musician Lynn Deeves and other OI members. OI Member David Sky is the event registrar.
The retreat will include mindful sitting, walking and eating. There will be opportunities for deep relaxation practice, noble silence & possibly canoeing/kayaking.
Relational Neuroscience will be a focus of our practice time. We will engage practical listening & speaking skills that build warmth and connection for ourselves & others.
These practices help transform reactivity and give us ways to support with care even when we don’t agree.
No prior experience necessary. The teachers and retreat warmly welcomes beginners and advanced practitioners alike. We are all one.
