The themes woven into this course will activate our intelligences: integrating embodied memory, instinct, direct experiences and collective knowledge. We will have short lectures each day, but much of the time together will be spent in a retreat from the cognitive and conceptual brain, through using our hands and bodies, individual and small group creative work, dynamic discussions, playful time in nature and mindfulness practices - for the aim of developing the “new adult” within ourselves. We will begin our time together as one would have begun life: without words. Mindful Silence will then merge into Mindful Communication and Mindful Action.
