Early spring in the Midwest offers a time of in-between. In the natural world, we find ourselves watching and waiting for the green of new life to arrive - even as we stand amidst the muck and deadness of last year. Join us in the paradox of spring. Through song, poetry and community, we will explore the seasons we are leaving and entering in our own lives. These retreats combine the principles and practices of Circles of Trust and the power of music to help us understand and live into our lives. Developed by Parker Palmer and the Center for Courage & Renewal, The Circle of Trust® approach is distinguished by principles and practices intended to create a process of shared exploration where people can find safe space to nurture personal and professional integrity and the courage to act on it. Facilitators: Paula Pedersen, Winton Boyd and musician, Sara Thomsen
