Our week will guide us from masks to mandalas, with many explorations in-between. Each day has a theme, as seen below. There may be slight variations in schedule to accommodate guest speakers, activity processing, weather, and serendipity. We will not provide less, but we may shift where something best fits. We will adhere to our internal & group rhythms more than the rigidity with which these time tables suggest; flexibility within a clear structure.

Daily
Each day begins with yoga and guided meditative practices, followed by breakfast. The general flow of our time will include a facilitated workshop in the morning followed by lunch with a continuation of projects in motion and/or free time in the afternoon. Dinner will be followed by an evening activity that integrates with our themes.
All programming is optional and alternatives for your time are ample, though we have designed the week with the intention of deepening the experiences and developing group cohesion.
