2009 Heartwood Retreat - Friday Evening


March 6, Friday Evening a yummy potluck began at 6:00 followed by the 2008 Heartwood movie, this year produced by Shannon Walker, age 15! It is lively and entertaining, great job Shannon!! We then did an exercise of movement and gratitude. We put our names in a basket, drew the names and then looked for that person to put our hand on their left shoulder and form a large circle. Ironically we ended up in small pods instead of one large circle, a theme that continued throughout the weekend. We are part of the whole, Heartwood Community, we are part of many smaller groups, and we are individuals. Gratitude was expressed one on one. We ended the evening by lighting candles and placing them on the terrace as a beginning of ‘finding our place in community’.
