The Lake Tahoe staging of "This Moment In Time"  retreat is set for 9:00 am,
Wednesday, August 10 to 3:00 pm August 12,  2005. 

Transitions are a matter of time. The stages and cycles  of life, the changes
in organizations, the surprise acts of Creation, the  interior processing
that occurs within us all make for transitions.  Transitions are a fact of
life and an ongoing part of life sometimes  bringing joy, and sometimes
bewilderment. They take time and make time.  They invite us to understand
them and make meaning out of them. They raise  questions to us and require of
us new perspective and relationship.  Reflective and metaphoric tools are
essential elements of Interacting with  transitions and living abundantly,
joyfully, and intentionally. Our  reflective life and centering are ways we
appropriate the transparency that  allows our experience of awe to illuminate
our being and shine through us.  When I first sent this out a few weeks ago
the witness by David Dunn on the  limits of our own "dead reckoning"
appeared. I decided to attach it. If you  can, take a moment in time to read
it and treat yourself. If the time is  right think about joining us next week
in the Tahoe Woods to extend that  moment in time.

Brian Stanfield says in his Courage to Lead;  Transform self, Transform
Society , "Whatever meaning can be found  in  life is located in the midst of
everyday happenings and on-going-ness at  home, on the job, in this world. We
experience transparency when meaning  shines through the mundane happenings
of life."  The retreat, "This  Moment In Time," draws on the Stanfield's work
in chapters 4, 5, and 6 and  the early research in the metaphoric terrains of
the Other world in the  midst of this world to create reflective exercises.
These exercises help  get a hold on the everyday, seemingly insignificant
transitions as well as  the dramatic life changing ones to provide a means of
receiving and  appreciating all as creation's gift. We will share as we are
inclined our  own life experiences and journal some of them through to deeper
insight. We  will zero in on our current life question and the gifts of our
current  transitions and explore the transformations you are being invited
into at  this moment in time.

I hope this connects  if this is your time.
