Experiencing the YOU-niverse – A Deeper Dive: Interbeing

• What if we knew ourselves as more than just this body in this space and time?
• What if we experienced the space between us as connecting rather than separating?
• What if we realized that we are members of a community that’s far more expansive, diverse and cohesive than we ever imagined?

Join us in exploring these timely and pertinent questions as we make connections between our daily life and the cosmos, making meaning of our lives in a larger context. By expanding our view to include the cosmos, we find new perspectives and insight, along with support and guidance that can help us navigate this time of change and uncertainty.

In this first retreat in our 2024 series we’ll be exploring the overarching theme of Interbeing. Our guiding question will be: What if we could live knowing that we are fundamentally and inextricably connected to every being and every event – both seen and unseen – in the neighborhood? … in the world? … in the universe?

When: Sept. 7, 8 & 15
9:00-10:30 (Pacific) / Noon-1:30 (Eastern) / 5:00-6:30 (UK)

Whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, educator, or just plain interested and curious, you’ll come away from these retreats with a wide-open mind and heart, renewed inspiration and flow, increased creativity and a deeper sense of connection and belonging.

“We are in each other holographically, this world and us: the whole of the ‘universe story’ carved in our own hearts, and the whole of our own story reverberating within the cosmic heart.”
– Cynthia Bourgeault

In this series of online retreats we’ll be imagining, exploring, and embodying these possibilities as a group. We’ll be offering each of these retreats in the following format:

Saturday (90min session) introducing and unpacking the theme, Sunday (90min session) exploring some deeper teaching, following Saturday (90min session) catching up and integrating. We’ll encourage you to see the intervening week as a retreat in your daily life where you can engage with practices, journal prompts, and other opportunities to explore the material from the weekends into your everyday life.

Led by three teachers, contributing, augmenting and inspiring each other: astronomer, author and director of the Deeptime Leadership Program Stephan Martin (located in North Carolina, USA), meditation teacher and psychotherapist Marianne Rowe (located in California, USA), and ex-astronomer, author and Zen teacher Mark Westmoquette (located in London, UK).

Stephan, Marianne and Mark invite you to turn your attention to the mystery of the cosmos as a way of opening the door to expanded perspective and universe of possibility.
