Beneath the busyness of our daily lives flows a deep river of creativity, passion, silence, and a place of contact with ourselves and what matters to us. Although “the deep river” is a powerful source of nurturance, the fragmentation and sheer pace of life in 21st century America often buries this inner dimension beneath the perpetual-motion surface of our days.
This circle is about slowing down. The one-day format serves as an introduction to the principles and practices of the Deep River process, as detailed in Abby's book, Finding the Deep River Within: A Woman’s Guide to Recovering Balance and Meaning in Everyday Life. With the help of experiential exercises, discussion, a touch of humor, and each other, we will explore ways to free ourselves from the tyranny of our “to-do’s,” and so to rest more in our deeper selves and in the gift of life itself.
Pre-registration required.
This introductory workshop, or another Deep River workshop, is a prerequisite for the Facilitator Training day on November 6.
