On
The Common Ground
Retreats and Workshops
Soul work simply doesn't happen
if not done in relationship. That is, in relationship to ourselves, including
our past, present and future. But this work must be done in relationship
to our community - the men, women and children in our lives, the society
we live in, the environment that surrounds us, the animals and plants
and the planet upon which we live.
On The Common Ground been actively
sponsoring and promoting retreats, workshops, conferences and lectures
for over ten years. Our annual spring and fall "Village of Brothers"
retreats, in particular, offer men the opportunity to come together in
community with other like-minded men willing to explore the uniqueness
of their gifts and their truth, including their fear, anger, joy and sorrow.
These retreats offer opportunities to experience and to ask questions.
To laugh and to cry. To give and receive support and acceptance.
To learn that we are not alone in the community of brothers. Or, to do
none of the above.
