Cancelled: Rooting in Interbeing; ReMembering into the Blessings with the Land

We are excited about this unique offering for Vallecitos, guided by teachers who interweave colonial and Indigenous perspectives. This offering is an opportunity to explore the significance of naming our personal connection to the land while honoring the inherited histories that shape the land. While there are periods of silent reflection, it is not held in noble silence and includes space for journaling, dialogue, and group discussion. Here is what the teachers say:

How do we engage with Land, Water, and Time to increase our capacity, practices and experiences of Interbeing? Given the histories of colonization, how can we understand ourselves as part of our larger processes of discerning right action? We will engage with processes of unnaming and naming; origin stories; and reMembering ourselves into our relationship with this sacred site and our wider lives. This is a rich and unique opportunity to learn across cultural and spiritual traditions within the Vallecitos framework to enable collective realization.

Our time together includes engaging directly with the elements, strengthening our wide-eyed ways of seeing, and finding ways of acknowledging land, ourselves, and one another. There will be morning teachings and dialogue, afternoon openness that includes engaging directly with the land, and opportunities for deep reflection. There will be inquiry practices, ample time for silence, and evening meditations with the stars.

Be aware that while all lodging options have a propane heater, the Tent Cabins and Yurts tend to be colder than the Casitas during the shoulder season. Please select your lodging accordingly.
