Tending the Threshold: Navigating Traumatic Times With Love, Joy, and Beauty
With each new day, our hearts are broken by the news of suffering caused by catastrophic fires, floods, hurricanes, violence, and the deaths of friends and strangers both near and afar. Yet deep in our souls, we know life’s tragedies can also yield hidden gifts of profound healing, renewal, and thriving. Gradually, we discover how catastrophes can even become sources of gratitude. With faith and courage, we learn how to open these gifts, mend our broken hearts, and move forward with mystical wisdom, mature hope, and newfound inspiration. What if we are standing on a threshold between who we have been as a species and who we are being called to be? The calling is much less about surviving and much more about thriving, but to thrive, we must emotionally and spiritually mature into a new kind of human being by opening to the planetary rite of passage that our predicament compels us to enter. The journey is about reconnecting with ourselves and our deep inner wisdom, with each other, and with earth. This workshop will offer a weekend of connecting with these three sources of meaning as we navigate the journey together in love, joy, and beauty.

W-Holy You! Rediscovering Your Wholeness. Celebrating Your Sacredness.

If only the rest of the world could experience the love that will bathe those gathered for this extended weekend with spiritual teacher Suzanne Giesemann. You will learn to connect with the Greater Reality and understand the fullness of who we really are. We will form lasting, loving friendships on the sacred grounds of Unity Village, breaking bread together each day and feeding our souls each moment. We may even ask the same question as our time together concludes: “Can we bask in this joy, this gratitude, this palpable light just a bit longer?” We will return home with higher perspectives and new tools to heal our us. We will depart uplifted and transformed, having rediscovered the wholeness of our true selves. Come and join us!
