Coming to Omega in the Summer of 2019!

Peace begins within, then radiates out to our families, friends, and communities to create a greater sense of interconnection at every level. To bring more peace into our world, we can start by connecting more genuinely within ourselves and integrating fragmented patterns that create the illusion of separateness into a more integrated sense of interconnectedness.

Now more than ever we need to transcend our differences by acknowledging a shared attunement that facilitates empathy while not insisting the other agree with us. When we are connected, we feel seen, heard, respected, and cared for, with a sense of trust and belonging.

This weekend we explore inner, interpersonal, community, interspecies, creative, and environmental dimensions of connectedness and show how these diverse approaches can help us connect across divides. We learn to turn toward compassion as our default mode and create a chemistry of connection.
