In this unique retreat, Caroline Fairless  invites you join her for a Circle of Trust, grounded in Parker J. Palmer’s Circle of Trust® approach and introducing her new book The God Presumption and her insights into how that keeps us living a divided life.  Dr. Jean Richardson and Dr. Veta Goler, and Dr. Sally Z. Hare, national Circle of Trust facilitators, will join her in creating the space for this retreat, bringing their own unique gifts to the experience.

The safe space of this retreat offers you the opportunity to glimpse your own hidden wholeness, to rejoin soul and role, even in a world that feels divided. This is a creative endeavor that asks us to reclaim our own story and to begin to notice and name how our culture’s presumption of God may add to our own sense of dividedness.

Our lives are not our experiences, but how we make meaning from our experiences. Researchers in leadership and adult development today are affirming that successful adults are those who remember, reflect and recreate their stories.  You will have the chance to hear from Caroline about her own experience as well as to listen to your Self.
