If world peace or some kind of healing happens, it’s not going to be because some politician has talked about it. It’s going to be because art and music intervened.

inspiration and delight?

Are you looking for an opportunity to laugh loudly and long – a chance to play while getting in touch with who you really are or want to become? Are you overwhelmed by challenges and demands, needing some relief from the routine in your life? Are you going through big changes in your life or looking to make big changes?

If your answer is “yes” to any of the above, then Standing in the Spirit, Living Out Loud is for you. We invite you to come join us for an extraordinary weekend to explore the choices we make, the character we bring and the practices we need to deepen the quality of our lives. Our hopes, needs and desires are the insistent knock, and when the door opens from within showing support and guidance, everything changes. As the poet Rumi said, “You must ask for what you truly want…the door is round and open…don’t go back to sleep.”

The way we get on the path is to align ourselves with Spirit, which is always on the path.
— David Baum, from Lightning in a Bottle

The program

Based on the landmark work of Angeles Arrien, The Four Fold Way, we will learn what it truly means to 1) show up, 2) pay attention to what has heart and meaning, 3) speak our truth, and 4) be open to outcome. The program is designed to cultivate curiosity and creativity, those unseen powers that can heal, inspire, teach and entertain. Rosanne and David's work includes the use of experiential learning, rich conversation, and creative expression. There is ample time for introspection, recreation, rest and being in nature as well.

Is this program for you?

The answer is YES if you are looking for…

  • Clarity and alignment inside and out.

  • Wonder and awe.

  • Reconnection with spirit and your best living out loud self.

  • A lot of fun and laughter.

The leaders.
