Movement of Being :: Presence in Relationship

with Colin

ALCHEMY –
‘Chemistry: the way two individuals relate to each other’
‘…a mingling, an infusion, juice…’
‘… mysterious, sudden transmutation.’
‘A seemingly magical power or process …..

RELATEDNESS -
‘A manner of connectedness; the relatedness of all living things’
‘The connections people have with other people’

Although the focus of much of the work that we offer is on ourselves (an ongoing enquiry into who we are beyond any idea or self-image; a continuing discovery of ourselves as both spiritual beings, and as very human beings), yet we are also and always in relationship. It’s not negotiable – with every breath and every movement, we are in a living exchange, inextricably immersed in this world, in ongoing connection with people, events, nature, with life and with death in all their myriad forms.

On this retreat we’ll specifically explore inter-personal relationship. How much of what we think we know about human relationship is actually just our habitual ways of staying safe within the familiar, or our well-honed ability to re-assure or please others? How much are we projecting our thoughts, our beliefs and our wounding onto the people around us? How much are we contracting away from intimacy, protected by out-of-date psychological structures, closing our hearts to others and to life itself?

During these 4 days we'll play with and investigate this territory, engaging both the potential and the difficulty; we’ll roll up our sleeves, get our hands dirty, open our hearts wide and FIND OUT what the hell it is to relate!
