Work at a more advanced level, while maintaining the “beginner’s mind” so essential to this process. Design your year to meet individual goals. Bring a quandary or a question. Experiment with the practice. Explore new applications. Examine important issues, such as: power dynamics, diverse modes of perception, and working in various contexts/environments.

Year-Long Program II provides six weekends of retreat, practice and study. It offers community, mentoring and choice. It invites each person to design his or her year to meet individual needs and goals. It offers new themes, new questions, and an opportunity to work at an advanced level, while maintaining the “beginner’s mind” so essential to this process.

We will examine issues important to the practice — power dynamics, working in various contexts/environments, and the “chest of drawers” of ways to respond. As in Year-Long Program I each weekend will have a different theme, such as: The Chest of Drawers; Dreams; Transference and Power; The Senses, Sensuality and Sexuality; Body and World; Life Stages and Endings. The weekends will include movement sessions, labs examining the witnessing relationship, dialogue about the readings, experiments with the practice, and time to bring questions/share experiences in the process. Participants may, for example, present a case study, bring a quandary or question from their practice outside this workshop, or explore new applications.

We offer CEU's for Year-Long Program II (see CEU page).

"I think you are fabulous facilitators. You create a safe and supportive container and somehow manage to make the work relevant to people from all sorts of different perspectives.”
