Isolation and Connection
Come and explore this with us at our monthly gathering as we share our journeys to connection with other souls, our partners and the community.
When we’re born we leave a safe and secure environment. In this moment we are isolated and immediately begin crying for connection – to mother, to the breast. Seeking connection is a natural drive.
But how do many of us come to be isolated, alone, afraid? Were we rejected, judged defective, not good enough? Were we told a “man” stands on his own?
In spite of our domestication the desire for intimate connections with other souls still exists under the noise of our life.

In fact, Witold Pilecki was a Polish resistance fighter who voluntarily went to Auschwitz
Another Inner Work Experience
Here’s a link to a Shadow Work Weekend. This weekend presents another approach to deep inner work and is similar to what we do at our retreats and Journey Men meetings.
Shadow Wisdom invites you to discover parts of yourself you have hidden or denied. By bringing these parts out of shadow, in a safe, experiential setting, where you can unlock the power of your true self, with all your gifts and strengths – even those you may have disowned.
