Deep U Retreat (Intensive)
After a year of Deep U retreat journeys in Portugal, we're delighted to invite host a weekend process engaging diverse practices that come from very different sources -- including Mindfulness, Heartfulness, Social Presencing Theater, Presencing, Giftivism, and beyond. It is a safe space to pause, journey deeper within, tune into rhythms of purpose, and see what potential may unfold when we lead with inner transformation.

If of interest, RSVP below to receive registration information.



A few awareness-based "technologies" we'll engage throughout the weekend...

Theory U: A framework for learning, innovating, leading and profound systems change. This framework guides us in three main phases: "observe, observe, observe," "retreat & reflect," and "act in an instant".


Mindfulness: The practice and invitation to be fully aware of our inner experience and surroundings with an attitude of kindness and curiosity.



Heartfulness: A secular spiritual approach to life, the world around us, and ourselves. It is about tuning into our heart and learning to be centered in our highest Self. By strengthening that connection, we cultivate an inner knowing that guides us to become who we're meant to be.

Social Presencing Theater: A social technology using body postures and movement to access intuition and awareness that make deeper layers of interaction visible in a system. SPT brings the intelligence of the body and the social body into the dialogue.

The weekend will be a structured integration of these different practices, which catalyze each other in a generative spiral. Collectively, and within our inner journeys, we look forward to seeing what emergence holds in store!

Logistics:
  • Food: Simple vegan meals will be served (Friday dinner. Saturday breakfast, lunch, dinner. Sunday breakfast & lunch).
  • Accommodations: Participants will stay overnight in shared rooms at Banyan Grove, which has campus guidelines including 5 precepts. Arrival is Friday evening or Saturday by 8:45AM. Depart Sunday at 5:30PM.
