SUMMARY:Fearless Creativity: A Writing and Meditation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Join Susan Piver\, Shambhala meditation teacher and the bestselling author of eight books on a week-long writing and meditation retreat set in the tranquil French countryside in June\, the most beautiful time of year. Relax your mind\, enhance your creativity\, and connect with your true voice. \nWhat do writers want more than anything in the world? Time to write. Yet even if such precious time could be found\, it’s not always easy to settle into the writing groove. This retreat presents a unique opportunity for all who wish for some time and space to settle into an environment that is conducive to inspiration\, imagination\, and expression. \nSupported by the encouraging yet non-intrusive presence of other writers\, the focus of this program is writing. Short periods of the day will also be dedicated to meditation\, a discipline that can truly help us synchronize mind and body in a way that supports the creative process. Evenings will offer a precious opportunity to discuss our work together and open new windows of vision\, insight\, and revelation. \nMeant for writers of all genres and levels\, this retreat is open to anyone who may wish to write\, whether your preference is fiction\, non-fiction\, poetry\, songwriting\, screenwriting\, or the simple wish to spend time journaling. Those new to meditation practice are fully welcome and detailed instruction will be offered. \nPlease note that the majority of time will be spent on personal writing rather than writing exercises. Bring your ideas\, works-in-progress\, or simply your wish to devote attention to your creativity.

SUMMARY:Open Heart Meditation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Open your heart to the fierce power of vulnerability\nOne could say that the point of spiritual practice is to open one’s heart. Yet we struggle to come to terms with this. It is so much easier to study gentleness and courage than it is to practice them because our world has conditioned us to believe that when we open our heart\, we risk tremendous sorrow and pain. As we keep the tenderest part of ourselves hidden\, we constantly fail to recognise it also holds the key to our vital energy: our heart is also where love\, creativity\, and magic reside. \nDuring this program\, we will examine what keeps our hearts closed – in relationships\, towards life\, and most of all\, toward ourselves. We will learn how to make friends with our emotions\, not to judge\, improve\, or transform them\, but simply to feel and be with them in a dignified way. As we become unafraid of our darker\, sweeter\, and more piercing emotions\, we can learn to embrace them and discover an incredible source of power\, which is unreachable without walking through vulnerability. \n
