When was the last time you created the space for star-gazing -- to sit or lie down on the Earth and let your mind wander into the spaciousness of the night sky? For thousands of years, human beings have engaged in contemplative relationship with the light of other suns that travels up to 16,308 light years and is seen by the naked eye. Engaging this relationship has evoked countless insights, reflections and inspirations.

As Introverts and Highly Sensitive People, we often find ourselves in situations that are overstimulating or that favor extroversion, so it's essential for us to know ourselves well, to honor our own style and needs, and to do what we need to do to make sure we're feeling at our best.

In this day-long retreat, we will engage guided meditation, mindful inquiry, compassionate presence, relational practices, and reflective writing to discover, explore, and connect with what gives our lives meaning, and the meaning that we give to our lives.
