Formation Retreat for GRCC Staff |
| Description: |
|
Based on the work of Dr. Parker Palmer and informed by practices in holistic health, art therapy, and psychology; Formation retreats are designed as a place for the renewal of mind, heart and spirit. Without abandoning the outer world, Formation is the process of creating a quiet, focused, and disciplined space in which the noise within us and around us can subside so that the inner voice of authenticity and integrity might be heard. During the retreats, we join together to:
- connect as a group with the traditional wisdom of poets, storytellers, and artists - collaborate with others around personal experiences and insights - contemplate our inner beliefs through intervals of solitary reflection
A retreat is a time to uncover and perhaps recover our inner teacher. Participants are invited to speak honestly about their lives while listening and responding to each other - and to themselves - with encouragement and compassion. With a focus on soul and role, the retreats strive to develop a deeper understanding of how our chosen profession intersects with who we are as a person.
In drawing upon the collective and poetic parts of being human, participants are left with a deeper and more integrated sense of self while understanding their own place and connection within the Universe. Often times therapeutic, these retreats are not therapy: often times spiritual, these retreats are not religious. Participants are average, healthy adults seeking some time to pause and reflect on their life within a community of others. |
