The phoenix retreat

	This 7-day retreat is is open by application only to those who have done a minimum of one ongoing group or the Initiation workshop. It is designed to invite and catalyse you into a new level of awareness, assuming responsibility and commitment to living your life in alignment with your deepest purpose. As we develop, life or 'the Great Choreographer' provides us with the perfect challenges through which we can evolve.

In the theatre, an understudy is a person who learns another's role in order to be able to act as a replacement. On 'the stage of life,' these understudies have taken to performing nearly all the time, for ever reciting perfectly learnt lines and repeatedly executing the moves of a well rehearsed routine, while the real stars wait hidden in the wings. As you grow stronger in your acceptance of yourself, you will create the conditions in which the understudies will become visible to you and in which you can compassionately and with gratitude for the job each has done, invite them to step aside and make way for the essential self they have been protecting. What is then revealed and how you integrate and embody that is the work of the Phoenix Retreat. Phoenix medicine is the ability we all have to rise from the flames of separation, suffering, or plain old mediocrity, born anew in understanding, wisdom and dedication to the life we are here to live.
