Urban Deva Retreat

What’s Your Story?

 

Gardoussel Retreat
Languedoc
South of France
October 16 – 21 2010

 

We are each a never-to-repeated life here to weave our unique story into the ongoing tapestry of the world. Question is, what's your story?


Most of us spend each day getting by and getting through. But we each contain a seed hidden deep inside that is larger-than-life. So what do we do if we've lost a foothold in our destiny and wound up adrift in a life of someone else's making? How do we go about reconnecting with our innermost self?


Drawing on storytelling, poetry, myth, dreams, and ritual, this magical five night retreat will nurture creativity, evoke natural talents, and draw out each individual’s gifts. To these we'll apply humour and imagination, arousing enthusiasm and renewing inspiration. We’ll focus on awakening each individual’s sense of purpose, cultivating a deepened sense of self-identity and re-visioning the unique story of our lives.


UD: Retreat – Reconnect with Oneself, One Another, and Nature.
