Please join us for our Thinking Like A Movement Retreat from January 17 – 21, 2010.

“I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to explore ideas and concepts that were new to me. To be in an intentionally thoughtful environment where ideas could be expressed without judgment (no right answers, only more questions) was an enriching experience.”
