Wisdom in the Silence: Opening to the Inner Teacher

In silence, we find communion with our inner wisdom.
The silent, embodied knowing of our inner wisdom - sometimes called our "inner teacher" - can offer a compass bearing for the choices we make about our lives, the work we do and how we do it, the relationships we enter and how we conduct them. Our inner teacher is a reflective, engaged and connected knowing that has the capacity to awaken a truth in us and in others, enabling our life to speak.
Join us for a Circle of Trust weekend retreat based on the approach to deep reflection and contemplation developed by Parker J. Palmer and the Center for Courage & Renewal. Although this is not a silent retreat, we will use silence and other processes to connect with our inner teacher and explore what it means to listen mindfully with courage to what our life intends for us, what calls us, and the next steps that await.

Letting Our Life Speak:
Authenticity, Vocation and Embodiment in the World of Work
Tuesday, May 31, 2016
Friends Meeting House | Brighton, Sussex, UK
We live in ever-changing and challenging times. We often find ourselves living life in unexpected ways, at times struggling to reconcile our inner landscape with the outer world we inhabit, feeling separated from the truths and values we intended to live up to.
In this one-day experiential introduction to the work of Parker J. Palmer (author of ‘The Courage to Teach’ and ‘A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey Toward an Undivided Life’), we invite you to join with others to reflect, renew, and reconnect with the inner passion, courage and sense of purpose that gives meaning to your work and life in the world.
Supported by facilitators from the U.S.-based Center for Courage & Renewal, the non-profit organisation founded by Parker J. Palmer, through conversation, creative process, and deep inner listening we create space to (re)discover the inner wisdom that guides and sustains us in our life passages – our everyday life connections, our life at work, and our life journey.
