We are coming together for an opportunity to sit in silence/stillness and participate in some great meditation, sharing, activities and food.

If you haven't been, here's a recap of what the previous retreat felt like :)

The theme of the retreat is "Creating Deep Ties", with the intention to foster our Northeast Awakin community, further our connection with each other, learn about the wider ServiceSpace ecosystem, and step into becoming ‘ladders' for each other and members of our community who want to serve and grow through generosity.

This day-long gathering will take place in the Princeton area, NJ.

Please note that space is limited, so please only RSVP if you can make it. 

This will be a co-created and dynamic retreat.

Spirit of Gift - In the spirit of gift economy, this retreat is offered as something of great love and of great worth, which is not denied to anybody.  Transactions provide clarity but also lacking connection.  With this gift offering, it’s up to you to assess what that value is, and then to receive it: to allow yourself to feel the experience of receiving a gift :)
