Our weekend theme is Are you who you want to be? Luke Roberts will serve as TAT’s meeting host and facilitator.
Friday Evening, June 135:00 to 7:30 p.m. ~ Set-up and arrivals
7:30 p.m. ~ Where have you been, where are you going? An optional session for those who can attend on Friday. Led by Ben Erne.
9 to ? ~ Free time
Saturday, June 1410:00 to 10:15 a.m. ~ Introduction and splitting into three groups. The groups will rotate through each of three workshops. Workshop themes and leaders are as follows:
I. Now that I’m in an isolation retreat, what do I do with all this time. An interactive book review of Sylvia Boorstein’s Don’t Just Do Something, Sit There with Heidi Munn and Corina Bardasuc.
II. What do you want out of life? Richard Rose began the August 1985 Chautauqua with this question. After jotting down the attendees’ responses, he noted that it was evident that none of them had arrived at their chief aim and discussed why. Augie Monge revisits this question and some of Mr. Rose’s other observations and insights from this Chautauqua, which was captured on five 90-minute cassette tapes.
III. Seeing who you really are. Douglas Harding exercises, with Chris Papadopoulos.
10:30 to noon ~ Session I. Groups go to respective workshops.
Noon to 1:30 p.m. ~ Pot luck lunch and open discussion
1:30 to 3:00 p.m. ~ Session II. Groups rotate to new workshops.
3:00 to 3:30 p.m. ~ Break
3:30 to 5:00 p.m. ~ Session III. Groups rotate to new workshops.
5:30 to 7:00 p.m. ~ Pot luck dinner and open discussion
7:00 to 8:00 p.m. ~ A Talking Stick. Art Ticknor will lead a round-robin discussion.
8:00 to ? ~ Confrontation session or free time. Richard Rose said the exigencies of life will often provide Koans for those who seek Self-Definition. It can also be advantageous to engage in the exercise of confrontation within a group setting to accelerate the search. Confrontation is, essentially, holding a mirror up to another person, so they can see their own thinking processes more clearly. Participation is voluntary.
Sunday, June 1510:00 to noon ~ Observations and feedback from session leaders and others.
Noon ~ Departing words followed by optional lunch at a local restaurant.
