Shine
Time - Participant presentations in the spirit of the
‘Ted talks’. TED (Technology, Entertainment,
Design) conferences bring together the world's most fascinating
thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the “talk
of their lives” - communicating what they are most
passionate about in 18 minutes. In an artist’s version,
you are invited to give a 10-20 minute presentation that
might include performances, creative expressions or simply
sharing from the heart. It is each persons chance to shine
and to share what matters most to them - a powerful experience
for both givers and receivers. |
| Afternoon Session |
Open
Space Forums – dialogues, explorations &
projects called into being by participants. You will
be guided in this cutting edge group communication structure
that generates an atmosphere of ‘creative buzz’
and ‘collective genius’. |

| NOTE:
everything is optional and following your own inner guidance
is strongly encouraged. Morning Circle is our daily check
in & orientation to the flow of emergent events –
also a time for ceremonies & experiential happenings.
Morning Circle is highly recommended as our main all community
gathering time. Morning Practice is at the Expanding Light
and it is comprised of energization exercises, gentle
Hatha Yoga and a short meditation. The afternoon session
will be an ‘Artists’ Practice’ using
singing & silence, dancing prayers & moving meditations
to interiorize and commune with the Divine within. |
How
might you fit in to the Global Arts Retreat?
Imagining
a few scenarios…
Amy
Artist can’t wait to
have studio time- she spends most of the week in the
studio and on Friday shows the group her drawings &
paintings. Her artist soul is fed and she is jazzed!
Healing
Henry has always wanted to
be a singer but his first grade teacher squashed his
passion. He spends most of his time working with voice
improvisation- in sessions with the group and belting
out songs on his many solo nature walks. In circle time
he shares his story and all are deeply moved.
Techno
Tina can’t wait to connect
with other global visionaries. She generates and participates
in dozens of sizzling conversations on issues that mean
the world to her. Within the first few days she’s
already created a live online community where she is
connecting our work with folks near and far. On Thursday
she presents a rocking video she’s made during
the week and she emails everyone a picture of themselves
and the group.
Listening
Linda needs time alone. She
comes to some of the classes, but hardly speaks. She
listens to the wind in the trees and the sound of the
grass growing. She gets a massage every day and comes
to the spiritual practices. On Friday she shows the
group a branch she has decorated with the treasures
from nature she has found on her many walks. She says
nothing, but everyone understands. She leaves feeling
deeply restored.
Passionate
Peter engages from day one.
He has no idea what will emerge or the ‘real’
reason he has come, but he knows he is supposed to be
here. He throws himself into the process- singing, painting,
theater, conversations and also the river! ~ By Thursday
he has had an epiphany and he shares it in a ‘TED
talk’ that sparks the group into action. Plans
are made for follow through and his team of co-conspirators
pulls off a major project in the following year.
Co-creative
Carl makes a living as an
artist and poet. He has worked for many years alone,
living simply and frugally on a small island. During
the week Carl engages in many mind-blowing conversations
and juicy collaborations- taking his work to a new level.
He finds himself singing his poetry, and developing
a performance piece with a small group of collaborators.
His work will never be the same! |
