Jim Lockridge, Kathleen Graham, Kara Vangen 

This retreat focuses on activating the Red Latifa, a sacred quality that embodies the impulse of “I Can,” allowing us to expand with strength and courage on our spiritual journey. From the depths of the heart, the Red Latifa fuels our inner desire to know who we truly are and gives us the strength to address any barriers that may stand in the way of this knowing. With the natural assertion of our life force, we gain clarity and the courage to express and live our truth.

“The facts of my situation, and the logic and reason I use to arrange them, will only take me to edge of what I know. Even using my five senses will only extend as far as the range of my sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. But imagination has the ability to reach farther by accessing the deeper well of the unconscious and creatively rearranging what I’ve known before. The uniquely human capacity to imagine is a valuable threshold skill that can open a way into and through the unknowns of the not yet.” (From Trusting Change, by Karen Hering)

“What is your definition of gratitude?” While each answer is deeply personal and unique, there is a universal thread that connects us all – humans, animals, plants, flowers and let us not forget fungi and the mycelium network beneath our feet.

with Karen Hering

“In our thresholding, not only does our current identity include the years we have already lived through; it also includes the future we are living toward. Just as the acorn carries within it all the potential—crown and roots and trunk—of a large oak tree to come, so too, our own future growth is folded within us. Being fully in the present moment, we can find strength in expanding our wholeness to include past and future, roots and crown and seed together, in an ever-growing identity reaching toward the light.” (From Trusting Change, by Karen Hering).
