Enhance Inter-being: ReMember – ReEnchant

With Sara Jolena Wolcott and Kristine Marie Hill

June 2, 2024

Please join us for this special half-day origin story workshop in Durango. Due to strong interest, we are now making this offering available in a hybrid format.

Origin stories inform how we think of ourselves and the world around us. They are critical components of how we form our cosmovision – informing our relationship with wilderness, with the mountains, with our family and our community. How we narrate our origin stories influences how we experience and interpret the present moment, and our very sense of who we are and why we are here.

Too often, the origin stories we tell perpetuate the dis-ease of separation, delusion, othering and displacement. However, we can “create” origin stories that can support our own capacity for interbeing.

We explore ways of intertwining multiple lineages (spiritual, familial, cultural, land-orientated, ecological and indigenous).

The workshop introduces concepts of re-membering, re-enchanting, circular and multi-dimensional time in the context of being a living being within the cycle of life. Engage your mind, body, heart, breath, and spirit. We intertwine embodied and eco-spiritual practices with storytelling.

Event offered by donation in support of the teachers. 

Please note that as we are preparing to open the land for retreats, we are also adapting to make this offering available in a hybrid format to our larger community.  Our technology for this offering will be simple, as the offering is taking place in Erin’s home.  We hear that you as a community are curious about and ready for this work.  We welcome your participation within this informal setting.

Please reserve your space for this free event as soon as possible to guarantee your spot. *In person apace is limited and we expect this event to fill.
