The Radical Root of the Soul

A Multicultural Mentoring Retreat for Younger and Older Men

Tuesday, August 15th - Sunday, August 20th

The world is at a crossroads in time that includes the threat of severe climate change as well as the dangers of cultural upheaval. Amidst the expansion of human tragedy and the growth of collective fear and anxiety, it is easy to feel helpless and isolated. Yet, in the midst of trouble the radical root of the soul seeks to deepen our sense of meaning and activate our true purpose in life.

The great risk in life has always been the work of becoming one’s true self amidst the uncertainties of existence. Thus, each crisis can become a crucible in which we are pulled and stretched by an unseen force that was in us all along. At each turn in life we have another chance to hear the call, follow our calling and be emboldened by the roots of our souls.

The problem is not that there are no answers to life’s dilemmas; the difficulty is tuning in to the path our soul would have us take. We grow by letting go of who we thought we were in order to find the next part of the story trying to enfold from within. No matter how dark and troubling the world becomes, finding a life-long initiatory path allows us to both save ourselves and contribute to the healing of the world.

Donation for Scholarships

"The Radical Root of the Soul" is the theme for Mosaic's week-long mentoring conference in the remarkable Mendocino Woodlands. This event focuses on mentoring diverse youth, developing elders, and bringing healing to communities troubled by violence and alienation. Key aspects of this work include: awakening genuine imagination, learning meaningful practices, and contacting the healing presence of nature. Participants include severely at-risk youth, mentors working in oppressed neighborhoods, veterans returning from war, therapists and teachers, doctors and healers from many traditions as well as artists and activists.

For this event, we have many scholarship requests from unique and deserving youth and dedicated community mentors who wish to attend. Given the general economic condition and the effects of disparity on certain communities, we need your help to provide scholarships and assist with travel expenses. Any amount you can donate will offset expenses for youth and mentors working in areas of severe poverty and risk.

Donations can be made on this registration page, online at, www.mosaicvoices.org, or through the Mosaic office at 206-935-3665.

We thank you for your support and interest in this meaningful work.

Peace and blessings,
Mosaic Staff
