Twenty-five invited guests will join us for this rare opportunity to be in retreat with Ken and Valerie, two of the most experienced facilitators nationwide of Circle of Trust® retreats.
The benefits are both personal and professional as you slow down to renew and reflect on questions of importance to you.
Purpose of this Invitational Retreat
The purpose of this gathering is first to support you and your leadership with an experience of our signature program led by Ken and Valerie. Secondly, you are a Leading From Within friend, partner, supporter and/or connector who values our mission. There is no expectation other than that you engage in the experience. Finally, consider this a special opportunity at the beginning of the year to reflect on your vision for your life and work, guided by skilled and experienced facilitators.
What to Expect During this Retreat
The retreat will be held at the beautiful La Casa de Maria Retreat Center in the foothills of Montecito, and it will offer you spacious time to:
- Step back from the busy-ness of everyday life, and take time for reflection, self-care, and new connections,
- Explore whatever big issues and questions are alive for you – including issues of transition, vocation, life passion, purpose, meaning, direction, relationships, underlying life patterns, and ways to live in greater alignment with one’s deepest values and the courage to act with integrity and authenticity,
- Get support in building ongoing practices that support you in integrating your intentions into your life and work, and
- Learn more about Leading From Within and have the chance to experience the Circle of Trust® retreat model (developed by Parker J. Palmer and the Center for Courage & Renewal) it uses to support and connect social sector leaders in its Courage to Lead program.
