Cultivating Love - Befriending Fear
A Courage & Renewal® Retreat
A time to:
  • Focus on what is most important to us and listen to the guidance of our own inner wisdom.
  • Deepen our courage to align our lives more strongly​ with our values and integrity.
  • Explore the connection between our inner landscape and outer world.
  • Discover lifegiving ways to hold the inevitable paradoxes ​and tensions of life.​
Self-care is never a selfish act - it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer others. Anytime we can listen to true self and give the care it requires, we do it not only for ourselves, but for the many others whose lives we touch.
Parker J. Palmer, Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation
​The Courage and Renewal® approach:
  • Explores the relationships between heart, mind and spirit as this is expressed in the inner and outer landscapes of one’s life
  • Supports reconnection to our sense of identity and integrity, acknowledging and valuing our gifts and strengths, and recognising our limits
  • Creates a context for careful listening and deep connection with others and the challenges we are meeting
  • Establishes trustworthy spaces where we can reflect on our sense of vocation and purpose
  • Charts the connection between attending to the inner dimension of our lives and the impact we have on the communities within which we live, work and are part of.

"When I was about six years old I received essential bodhichitta  teaching from an old woman sitting in the sun. I was walking by her house one day feeling lonely, unloved and mad, kicking anything I could find. Laughing, she said to me, “Little girl, don’t you go letting life harden your heart.”  Right there, I received this pith instruction: we can let the circumstances of our lives harden us so that we become increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us and makes us kinder and more open to what scares us. We always have this choice" Pema Chödrön
