Overview

CommonRoot is our opportunity to gather with other adults, in a contained, welcoming setting. Together, we explore the historical and current implications of the feminine and masculine energetic archetypes as they play out in our personal lives as well as in the life of the larger culture. Through experiential study, dialogue, music, dance, shared meals, and embodied play, we dive into both the baggage and the gifts of the universal dynamics of polarity.

We celebrate the full spectrum of fluid and non-binary identity. All perspectives and backgrounds are welcome at this workshop. This particular event will not be focused on clearing notions of  "woman" and "man" out of the cultural conversation, however (though we are interested in the benefits that birth out of from that kind of work, too).  The intention for this gathering is to create an opportunity for us to all bear witness and reexamine the pervasive role that archetypal polarity has had on our collective cellular and cultural unfolding. This is not as much a "retreat" as a healing, celebratory movement forward.

For those of you new to the adventure: CommonRoot is a place to explore, expand, get curious, work our edges - personally and culturally, heal, ritualize, ground, PLAY and deeply inhabit ourselves together. CommonRoot is a both a nourishing RETREAT and an EMBODIED RELATIONSHIP LAB. 

We welcome you to CommonRoot!
