Embody Your Wisdom

The stories we tell about ourselves, one another, and the Earth come with a lot of emotions, often bring up a lot of grief, and call us to ask what healing means. Being an activist in the world can feel overwhelming.

This retreat will use the power of storytelling to examine how we mirror stories to ourselves, one another, and Mother Earth. Drawing from Indigenous wisdom and Kaitlin Curtice’s latest book, Everything Is a Story, we will use our time together to move tenderly through these phases.

In this program, we will:

• Honor the stories that have been told to us throughout our lives and learn how we can embrace new stories of healing for ourselves.
• Focus on the power of kinship ties to ask what stories we tell about each other and how we can mirror care to others.
• Explore our sacred relationship to Mother Earth, embracing this relationship by imagining how this relationship brings healing.

Throughout the sessions we will listen to readings from Kaitlin’s book and poetry, journal and embody the wisdom of mirroring, and also share in small groups with one another. The retreat ends with a sharing time to take home the spiritual medicine we gathered while together.
