Voice Dialogue Summer Beach Retreat
July 20 - 24th, 2011
Manzanita Beach, North Oregon Coast
all levels welcome
Take a summer retreat at the beach at Manzanita to engage in deep work playfully. Voice Dialogue teachings, facilitation, dream process and group energetic practices to develop and strengthen the Aware Ego Process. This is an ideal opportunity to do your own work and learn at the same time.
Manzanita Oregon is a beautiful northwest Oregon coast beach that you can walk for miles without seeing many people once you pass the dunes. It's just you, the ocean, the forested mountains, and the dunes. Sometimes seals, body-surfacing. What a perfect place to rejuvenate your inner selves with nourishing soul work, nourishing food, nourishing company, nourishing "sabai-sabai" (relax, relax). Everyone will practice at the level they are at. It always works at these retreats that everyone has something valuable to offer others through being in their own practice.
I'm renting several large beach houses. One house will be the workshop/staff house. The other houses will be shared by the participants, each sharing the cost of the house by number of people staying in the rooms. Unless you come as a couple, you will have your own room. You'll be responsible for your breakfast and dinners and lunches will be catered at the workshop house. There are several small grocery stores in the little town of Manzanita, plus restaurants if you choose to go out to dinner.
Times
The program begins with a catered dinner on July 20th at the workshop house at 5 pm.
You're welcome to arrive from 4 pm on.
July 21, 22, 23 - 9 - 5:30pm
July 24 - 10 - 1pm
Size of group
This program will be limited to 12 participants only, first come, first serve.
Costs
The program tuition is $800 and includes dinner Wednesday evening and lunches Thursday through Sunday. Early bird registration by May 1st is $750. You will be responsible for the cost of your room in the shared house. The cost of renting that house will be divided equally amongst the inhabitants. I estimate that to be around $300 for all four nights. You'll also be responsible for the costs of your breakfast and dinners.
Transportation
Every effort will be made to help out of town guests arriving by plane to carpool to Manzanita.
Prerequisite
I expect everyone who comes to have read at least one Voice Dialogue book or have taken at least an introductory Voice Dialogue program, plus have had at least one individual Voice Dialogue session prior to coming to this beach retreat.
