Join the Garrison Institute Fellows for a multidisciplinary journey into the heart of relational sensemaking. Garrison Institute Fellows are thrilled to invite you to Nurture Relational Sensemaking through a series of public dialogues and practices at the edges of some of our most pressing questions, concerns, and dreams. Each session will be designed as a sacred space for exploration of current events, issues, challenges, successes, beauty, and mystery; a place where difference does not mean division and where fellowship values of interconnection, trust, curiosity, and love are embodied and expressed with openness, and mutual regard.
Please Join us on Saturday February 5 for this virtual workshop Creating a Superconscious Sanctuary: The Expansive Power of Mindfulness with yoga teacher and musician Nichol Chase and honored guest teacher Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. to explore the healing and integrative power of mindfulness.
