Co-creation SOL Summer Retreat

We are delighted to announce that YOU can join the 12th SOL Summer Retreat on 2nd – 6th August 2021. There is no charge for attendance.

We invite you to think what YOUR ‘perfect Retreat’ would include, and what difference your attending would make...:

• Where would you be spending your time?
• Doing what? With whom?
• What do you look forward to doing? What might you want to focus on, hear more about, practise doing, ask someone, … ? What difference would that make?
• What would you love to share with others on the Retreat about your SF work /thinking?

Last year, a number of SF practitioners retreated together in a wide variety of ways; the ways they decided worked best for them.

It was a mix of physical and virtual mingling, shared and individual time. A few activities were offered at the beginning, the rest of the content was generated by the participants during the Retreat in response to each others wants, expertise and interests.

Participants fully committed to nourishing their SF roots, while choosing how much time they spent on being on themselves (at home, walking,...) and on participating in group activities (online sessions, check-in and -out moments, group chats,...).

This year, we have planned it so that the Retreat period will include the SF24 Conference; which is taking place on the 5th-6th August. We hope that participants in the Retreat will see this as an opportunity to include and support that event as part of their own Retreat planning.

The Retreat is an opportunity to meet other SF practitioners in an informal environment so that we learn more about how we each think and apply SF in our work and lives. We aim to co-create a joyful, easeful environment for all to think, learn, share, play, take care of self and others.

We hope, by August that it will be possible to have a group co-located in Belgium on Wendy’s farm as a physical Retreat hub. And perhaps groups meeting elsewhere depending on your own best hopes and ideas…

Wendy and Sarah will be meeting, on Zoom, on the 21st of each month from March to July to continue sharing their best hopes, ideas and evolving practical arrangements for their Retreats.

We would love to hear your best hopes for your Retreat….
