GAIA: An In-person Daylong Retreat

GAIA: An In-person Daylong Retreat
With Christine Benvenuto
September 29, 2023

You are invited to GAIA, an experiential in-person daylong retreat where we will:

Gather with a council of wise women (you)
Acknowledge our emotions, and Attune to the larger web of life,
Imagine and Inspire possibilities,… and commit to
Act

Why gather for GAIA?
We are in a time of deep instability as the world is rapidly changing. Constant environmental crises, an ever-mutating virus, international political instability, ideological polarization, and the rise of AI all threaten life as we know it. For many, given the prevailing tone of physical, planetary, and existential uncertainty, overwhelm is common and it is becoming difficult to stay engaged, emotionally resilient, and aligned with a direction that feels purposeful.

Our GAIA retreat will orient us to our evolutionary drive of creativity and adaptability which lives through us and all of nature. Through remembering the strengths we embody from our ancestral lineage, we awaken resources, vision, and possibility. By attuning to our felt sense of belonging within the larger web of life, our perspective expands. This expansion helps to regulate emotions and reignites our innate capacity to act from a place of compassion, inspiration, and wisdom. This allows us to live creatively and intentionally in service to life.
