Conscious Happiness with Matt O’Neill

We all want to feel happy, but that can be hard some days. The empowering thing to know is that the way we feel is not imposed on us by the outside world. Our feelings are created within us, by us. When we choose Conscious Happiness, we choose to own our power as the master of our emotional journey. This starts by understanding why we have a tendency to feel bad sometimes. There are only 8 negative emotions: Shame, Guilt, Hopelessness, Sadness, Fear, Desire, Anger, and Pride. When we learn the signatures of these 8 universal bad moods, we can then learn the pathways out of them and back to happiness.

From Burden to Blessing: Embodying the Divine through Female Biology

Modern culture is saturated with the rhetoric of female empowerment, and yet, many of us continue to experience our bodies and their unique capacities—the very sources and living expressions of our femaleness— as burdens, impediments, objects of shame, punishments by a vengeful god, or else entirely empty of meaning and intelligence.

Cured: The Four Pillars of Healing and Well-Being

In these talks, Dr. Rediger will bring us the results of his 19 years of research into the lives of the true Olympians of health and wellbeing - those with medical evidence for recovery from incurable illness. He discovered that spontaneous healing is not just for the privileged few, but for everyone. Although it's important to not give false hope, the possibility of recovery also critically depends on grounded, ethical hope, founded on medical evidence, and yet this is something that traditional medicine far too often fails to provide.

You Don’t Have to Do it Alone: The Power of Friendship

This retreat will center on Mark’s new book, You Don’t Have to Do It Alone: The Power of Friendship. Our time together will explore the gift and spirit of friendship. For friendship is indispensable. We may discover our dearest friends in the dark labyrinth of seeking truth together. Or, in a moment of feeling vulnerable, we may feel safe in the care of some trusted other. We often come upon our deepest friends when taking the long way home, when forced to put down our differences, when humbled to admit that we haven’t a clue where we’re going or how to get there. In the raw and tender space of such honesty, the net of friendship is woven. In fact, the root of the word friendship means “place of high safety.”
