Retreat

Registration for the September 22-24, 2023 Animated Garden Retreat is now open.

Title: "Death is not a Dead End. Uncovering unconscious cultural beliefs about death to set yourself free."

Place: The Variety Club at Camp Hantesa in Boone, Iowa.

This is a Campfire Girl's facility, which means that it is more than adequate, but not fancy. We have a kitchen, a meeting room, gender specific showers/bathrooms, and bunk beds. Everyone is invited to spend the night, but feel free to drive home or stay in Boone, which is only five miles away. Also, anyone that needs to leave early can do so with no remorse. It is OUR retreat.

Rather than a conference where you sit and take notes, this is a gathering where you participate. Together we will work towards:

confronting the individual and cultural beliefs that keep us from fully integrating the fact that death is not a dead end.
vanquishing unconscious strategies that automatically defend those beliefs.
devising/tweaking personal tools to continually extend vision and enlarge your/our understanding of the nature of what we call “death.”
