About the program
This program is designed for us all to relax together in the wonder of the natural landscape and discover the wisdom within through the natural world and community. This is a celebration of our lives in springtime. Much of the program activity will happen during excursions out on the land from our cozy base of Juniper Lodge either while the sun is up or after it has set. 

Much of this retreat will be about listening. Listening to ourselves, each other and the pulse of nature. If you can take the time before we gather, to read, contemplate and practice deep listening, it will inspire all of us to connect in our natural authenticity.

• Here is one site: http://globalleadership.tv/otto-scharmer-deep-listening-emerging-self/
• We’ll also be sitting in circle, time to time so here is a site to explore these ancient skills: http://www.thecircleway.net/

Each of us will begin this journey in our own way, deciding to come, imagining, planning our travels, preparing in various ways. Now, if you like, we could further prepare the inner journey by softening and sensing  into our personal aspirations, needs and offerings as we enter this journey together.
