Giving & Receiving:
The Elegant Balance of
Selfless Action & Compassionate Acceptance
A 4-day/5-night Retreat in the Desert
In English with Portuguese Translation
May 2 - 7, 2010
Tucson, Arizona, USA
Nature can provide us with special support for healing and evolving in consciousness. However, how capable are we of receiving nature's healing grace?
Giving and receiving both require a stance of surrender, which is the abandonment of yourself to universal will or consciousness. The nature of the desert is fully conducive to helping us experience this state of being. Spending time in the desert seems to remove all that is inessential so all that remains is clearly seen.
In a safe and protected space we will explore common difficulties with the ability to give and to receive. By attuning with desert plants we will have the opportunity to uncover areas that keep us from fully giving and receiving and discover flower essences to harmonize.
This four-day retreat is an opportunity to:
- meet the unique plants of the desert in an intimate setting
- gain deeper understanding of desert flower essences
- spend time attuning with flowers of the desert
- explore your inner relationship with giving and receiving
- permanently change dysfunctional blockages to fully receiving or giving unconditionally
- gain meaningful insights into yourself
