 Return
to the Center, a weekend retreat, provides a chance to discover
and honor the contribution that each of us, in particular, offers to
our community and to the world. We meet from a Friday to a Sunday
afternoon at a secluded, wilderness retreat center in the Santa Cruz
Mountains.A series of
experiential processes and expressive exercises enables people to
reveal their own sacredness and “unique medicine” to one another and
themselves. At the heart of this exploration is a profound inquiry
into how to live authentically—how to remain true to one’s inner
knowing while being fully active in the world.
Through nature walks, guided
visualizations, meditations, activities that evoke humor and provide
fun, as well as ample time for reflection and rest, one comes away
restored to one’s Self, knowing more deeply than ever “who I am”,
“why I’m here”, and how to express that essence in word and deed.

“I came away from the weekend
full of awe at my own special attributes. For someone who regularly
doubts and questions her ability to contribute, this made a huge
difference in how I began to lead my life. A year later, the impact
of RTC is still felt, by me and all around me, who now know
what I have to offer, as I give it freely and abundantly. We all had
such fun learning who we are! The group exercises were insightful
and frequently amusing, and the individual and paired exercises gave
us the opportunity to share ourselves deeply.” - Tana G.
“During ‘Return to the Center’,
I gained compassion for myself and others. I have a more creative
and fluid range of possible responses to the moments of my life. And
a new sense of what I have to give.” - Naomi C. |
