SUMMARY:Geography of Change
DESCRIPTION:A Forest Retreat for Navigating Life Transitions\nwith Valerie Brown\nOn Campus | In Person May 29-31\, 2026 \nBen Lomond Quaker Retreat Center\, Santa Cruz Mountains\, Northern California \nLife transitions often arrive without clear direction. Changes in work\, identity\, relationships\, health\, or an inner sense of calling can leave us uncertain about how to move forward. Set among the redwood forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains\, Geography of Change offers space to slow down\, listen deeply\, and reconnect with what matters most. \nAttending to body\, mind\, and spirit\, the retreat supports personal and professional integrity and the courage to lean into action. Guided by the belief that each person carries an inner teacher and an inner source of truth\, participants are invited to connect who they are with how they live and act. As we savor the spring beauty of the redwoods\, we will engage poetry\, prose\, music\, journaling\, gentle guided movement\, stories from diverse wisdom traditions\, and mindfulness meditation practices\, touching the seeds of transformation already present. \nWhat You Will Explore: \n\nGet grounded and renewed through the natural world.\nNavigate life’s uncertain and ambiguous moments.\nCultivate courage and trust even when you don’t feel it.\nReflect on what matters most with soul-amplifying questions\, creative practices\, small and large group dialogue and more.\nAlign your values with your work for a greater sense of purpose and meaning.\nCultivate body intelligence and body awareness.\nShow yourself real kindness through self-compassion.\nPractice self-stewardship while compassionately respecting your limits.\n\nWhat people are saying about retreats with Valerie: \n\nThis retreat provided so many excellent opportunities for inward journeys\, and identified ways that my energy\, spiritual journey was blocked.’  \n‘This retreat helped me to see more clearly the hindrances to my deepening/developing relationship to my joy and fullness.’
