Coming Thursday November 14, 2024: "Being Enough"

About this Retreat

“Being Enough” is a 90-minute online mini-retreat for anyone challenged with finite resources in the face of “too much.”  Do you feel overwhelmed by how much you could do and offer and how much is needed?  Do you feel yourself never having enough – enough time, enough funding, enough energy, enough helpers to meet all the needs in your personal and professional lives?   This is a retreat for folks who struggle personally or professionally to always be doing and giving more.  “Being Enough” is for anyone who's ever wondered what would happen to their lives if they embraced the concept that "enough is enough."

Give yourself the gift of protected time to reflect on your values, to listen to your own inner wisdom and the wisdom of others.  This mini-retreat gives you the space to begin to pursue deeper integrity, wholeness, and alignment in your personal and professional life.

Being Enough is grounded in the following principles

• That each one of us seeks wholeness and meaning.
• In our quest for wholeness and meaning we require reflection and inquiry.
• And that reflection and inquiry require both the privacy of solitude and the comfort and challenge of community.
• Together, solitude and community create the conditions where each one of us can access our inner wisdom and strength to guide us forward with integrity and grace.

Practices we’ll engage in

• Multiple modes of stimulating reflection that may include images, poetry, visualization or music.
• Time for quiet, individual reflection.
• Community support through paired, small group and whole group conversations.

These principles and practices are inspired by the work of The Center for Courage & Renewal.  Supportive guidelines will promote trustworthy, confidential space.
