Experiential Retreat: For the non-geeks who love what the MetaCurrency Project is about and have wanted to dive deeper into the wisdom of Upward Spirals, we finally have an inspiring and amazing event. Come play with us!
Together, we’ll experience:
- Seeing flows and patterns of flow
- Recognizing which patterns are nourishing and which are draining
- Shifting patterns and flows to new patterns
- Creating ways for others to engage with you in those new patterns
Dive in: We will not only talk, but immerse ourselves in the process of weaving healthy flows together -- as we work, play, dance, sing, eat, meditate and do yoga. We will work with flows at all levels: individual, group, community, environment and the world.
Your Life: Get ready to dive into patterns in your projects, businesses and communities, as well as within yourself and relationships. We’re committed that you leave healthier and more inspired.
A New World: We all know about the problems in the world. This event is about creating the world that wants to be… where we weave upward spirals to increase possibilities for all.
