What’s Called For Now ~ AAIT™ Retreat
October 21, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - October 23, 2022 @ 5:30 pm
The events of recent years have challenged us all. The sense of overwhelm, the allure of numbing, and the flooding of life’s precious moments with the insubstantiality of screens and media can alienate us from ourselves and connection to this one wild and precious life. We long for skillful means to move through the turbulence of these uncertain times with clear intention, equanimity, and fostered connection to self and others.
Join us for an exploration of What’s Called for Now? Drawing from the wisdom traditions and emergent understanding of the value of mindfulness and integrative awareness practices, we’ll explore skills and perspectives that illuminate a path into presence, equipoise, and resilience.
100% of the proceeds from this retreat benefit the non-profit organization, the Alliance for Integrated Awareness (AIA = Iya). AIA fosters emotional wellbeing in at-risk communities through service, outcome research, and certification of practitioners in Acceptance and Integration Training® (AAIT), advancing social justice in mental health care. – http://aaitaia.org/
