Magical Freedom Weekend
Elizabeth Gilbert
Course 1702-810/Tuition $450 ($405 Members) LE
Part creativity workshop, part spiritual cocoon, part healing journey, part explosion of pure love, Elizabeth Gilbert's Magical Freedom Weekend incorporates the tools and lessons that she has gathered over her years of writing, traveling, and growing into a weekend of art, laughter, and enchantment.
Best known for her memoirs Eat, Pray, Love and Big Magic, Liz has for many years been something of a "walking permission slip" for readers—inspiring people by her own example to live lives that are more creatively, emotionally, and spiritually courageous.
Liz leads you in a series of explorations that she herself uses as tools of liberation and expansion—encouraging you to shed the cultural, familial, and emotional burdens that prevent you from being as free or inventive as you might want to be.
Join us and dive into conversations and exercises about boundaries, mysticism, trust, courage, self-kindness, mercy, and purpose.

VAGAL TONING FOR VIBRANT HEALTH
Awaken Your Inner Healer
Arielle Schwartz Course 2005-767/Tuition $495 ($445 Members)
Vagal toning is a gentle, yet e ective treatment that adds stimulation to the vagus nerve pathway through breath, sound, eye movements, self-applied touch, and gentle yoga movements that help you come into balance.
Grounded within the principles of polyvagal theory and trauma-informed care, the work of vagal toning can be thought of as creating optimal balance between parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system actions.
Once you learn to self-regulate your nervous system, says licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Arielle Schwartz, you can boost your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Vagal toning also can provide relief from symptoms such as chronic pain, inflammation, PTSD, anxiety, and stress sensitivity, since their root cause is a dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system.
As you learn to strengthen the vagal nerve pathway through these exercises, you foster self-compassion and begin to awaken your inner healer.

($490 Members) SS
Many of us long to rekindle our felt relationship with a living cosmos. We long to cultivate relationality and reciprocity with our immediate ecology. Yet, we often don’t know where to start. Our ancestors had profound technologies of reconnection. They remembered and reconnected through story, through speaking and singing to land, through listening to the forest and the flowing waters, and through ritually o ering back. These tools are still available to us.
Join Josh Schrei, a lifelong student of the mythologies and spiritual traditions, for this deep dive into how to wake up the ancestral senses and connect more deeply to the natural world. We share myths and stories, explore practices of perceiving, listening, shapeshifting, and forest walking, and engage in daily ritual practice designed to wake us up to the vibrant world around us and set us on a path of regular reconnection.

Practice can make the box you live in feel nicer, or it can explode the whole box and transform it into something wilder and more free. In this retreat, we explore both.
Over five days, we focus on three pillars of practice rooted in Buddhist methods: practices of stability, practices of expression, and practices of direct-seeing into the bonkers interconnected nature of reality.
What does that mean? It means we learn to:
• Meditate in stillness— kind of drooly, kind of happy
• Meditate in movement— wiggly! stretchy!
• Meditate in relationship to one another
We clarify the mechanics of these practices, feel their e ects, and look at what they seem to be pointing to.

REWILD YOUR MIND
The Supernatural Power of Your True Nature
Jonathan Hammond Course 2102-892/Tuition $450/400/300 ($360 Members) SS
Quantum physics tells us that “our thoughts create reality.” This means that our current social, political, and ecological crisis, as well as the negative dynamics in our own personal lives, are all first born of our thoughts.
But there is an ancient and magical mind that we can learn to adopt for ourselves that creates new thoughts and new realities.
In this provocative and experiential workshop, you learn a nature-based psychology of the shamans and the natural alchemists—a specific way of seeing the world that opens you to personal power, supernatural connection, energetic attunement, sensual embodiment, and a re-enchantment with natural world.
We weave Indigenous wisdom, magical practice, modern psychology, ecological knowledge, Goddess spirituality, and sexual polarity to usher in a new and wild consciousness that can change the world.
This workshop may not be appropriate for minors or anyone with unresolved sexual trauma.

FINDING FREEDOM THROUGH FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS
Suzi Tucker
Course 2205-841/Tuition $575 ($515 Members)
The philosophy of Family Constellations reveals the streams of di cult connection that move under the surface of current life—the underground entanglements, loyalties, and patterns, says systemic coach Suzi Tucker. In releasing the burdens of previous generations, we become more available to ourselves, she says, freer to forge a fresh path into the future rather than live in service to the past.
In this experiential retreat, Suzi uses the lens and process of Family Constellations to guide participants as they establish their families of origin and the lineages in which they are nested. You learn to:
• Tap into the resilience of the ancestors
• Release inherited resentment and regret
• Establish a deeper wellspring of resources
• Develop an action plan that is generative, optimistic, and possible
• Take your place in the present and prepare better for the future
Suzi Tucker is a writer and innovative Family Constellation facilitator and teacher. She has presented her work for a broad spectrum of venues, including Manhattan College, New York University, Union College, the International Family Constellations Training Institute, and The New Center for Holistic Learning. She is the author of Gather Enough Fireflies suzitucker.com

Enneagram Gateways to Awareness & SelfTransformation
Russ Hudson Course 2405-889/Tuition $570 ($510 Members)
The nine Enneagram personality types are based on the three primary centers of intelligence: thinking, emotion, and instinct.

Conversational instruction is combined with group meditations, small-group work, seated physical movements, and music in order to fully integrate the richness of the Enneagram material into our daily work and relationships.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE
The Power of Friendship
Mark Nepo Course 2502-723/Tuition $375 ($335 Members)
Guided by poet and spiritual teacher Mark Nepo, we look at the gift and spirit of friendship, the inevitable trials by which our bond is strengthened or broken, the acceptance of our humanness, and the conduit that lasting friendship becomes to the larger forces of life.
We often come upon our deepest friends when taking the long way home, when forced to put down our di erences, when humbled to admit that we haven’t a clue where we’re going or how to get there. In the tender space of such honesty, the net of friendship is woven.
In these sessions based upon his new book, You Don’t Have to Do It Alone, Mark remains committed to introducing students to their own gifts and wisdom, as he guides an exploration of how the spirit of friendship opens us to each other.
Mark Nepo is spiritual teacher who has been guiding retreats for 50 years. Beloved as poet, teacher, and storyteller, he is the New York Times best-selling author of The Book of Awakening marknepo.com

I spent the weekend with a group of incredible artists discussing creativity, what being an artist means, and the idea of art being an o ering to the world. There was a plethora of takeaways, but the one that sticks out for me is gratitude. So much gratitude.
