The Practice of Council

The practice of council has deep roots in the human experience and it’s a simple way of wisdom-sharing. A council is a group of people who come together to reflect, share experience, and support decision-making. In this retreat, participants will experience a variety of council-based practices to cultivate authentic expression and connection.  Come share your stories, practice deep listening, and find support in the formation of your understanding of self and community.
