Thursday, September 12 - Sunday, September 15

Pilgrim Firs Conference & Retreat Center, Port Orchard, WA

Join mythologist and storyteller Michael Meade for this intensive four-day retreat. Life is change and each life crisis offers adventure or complacency, as we either become a greater vessel for the flow of creation or else shrink from life. Ultimately, the heart of the human drama concerns whether we are moving towards greater life or moving away from it.

Like a long-lived snake, we are asked to shed old skins of what we thought we were in order to become our genuine self. Each shedding reveals more of who we are at our core, while each turning away from the call of the soul leaves us less able to contribute love and meaning to the world around us.

A life fully lived requires that we redeem unwanted and rejected parts of ourselves, as solving the pressing problems in the outer world requires a transformation of the inner world. The deeper the connection to our true self becomes, the deeper and stronger our connection to both nature and the divine can also become.

Join us on this path of discovery made of stories and poems, honest speech and creative imagination, as we take an initiatory approach to the struggles of individual life and to the collective challenge of living through a time of radical disorientation and change.
