SUMMARY:Falling in Love with the Future - An experiential\, Nature Based Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This gathering is for the curious\, the weary\, the wild-hearted. No previous experience is needed—just a willingness to be surprised by your own aliveness. Whether you come alone or with friends\, you’ll be met with warmth\, spaciousness\, and good compost for your soul. \nAbout this Retreat\nJoin us for a beautiful\, relaxing\, and deeply meaningful gathering in the heart of nature—held over the luminous days of the Summer Solstice at the serene sanctuary of Land of Joy. This is not just a retreat. It’s a remembering. A re-rooting. A celebration. From Friday 19th – Monday 22nd June \n\n\n\nWhat’s Alive in This Workshop? \nOver a long summer solstice weekend\, we’ll immerse ourselves in the wild stillness and soft rhythms of the land. Together\, we will: \n\nRest in the quiet magic of reflection spaces\, birdsong\, and breeze.\nShare in the collective joy of meditation\, breath\, and gentle movement under open skies.\nSavour wholesome\, nourishing food\, prepared with care and shared in gratitude.\nGather around the fire in the long golden evenings to celebrate joy\, stories\, and seasonal aliveness.\nPractice being human together—with tenderness\, play\, and deep listening.\nThis is a space to unplug from urgency and reclaim connection—with yourself\, with others\, and with the living world.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy “Fall in Love with the Future”?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBecause in a world swirling with uncertainty\, we need new myths. New narratives. New ways of being-with the unknown. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’ll tend the soil of possibility\, and open to a simple but profound truth: Our joy arises from our natural state of inter-being. \nOver these Solstice days\, we will:\nLearn to love ourselves—as part of nature\, not apart from it.\nLearn to love each other—with kindness\, courage\, and honesty.\nLearn to love the Earth—not as an idea\, but as kin.\nAnd yes… learn to fall in love with the future—not through control\, but through connection. \nWho is this Retreat for:\nThis gathering is for the curious\, the weary\, the wild-hearted. No previous experience is needed—just a willingness to be surprised by your own aliveness. Whether you come alone or with friends\, you’ll be met with warmth\, spaciousness\, and good compost for your soul.\nCome Join Us\nLet this be a pause from performance. A ritual of remembering. A small\, sacred step toward a world where we fall in love—not with perfection\, but with what is still possible.\n✨ Let the land love you back. ✨ Let the future become your ally. ✨ Let yourself come alive \n\nBookings  \nFor more information and bookings\, please visit the Land of Joy dedicated page \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitator: Paul Wielgus -Paul spent a large part of his working life facilitating groups of all sizes\, as well as one to one coaching\, up until 1999 when he left a large organisation to set up his 2 businesses\, Dragonfly Coaching For Life and Social Innovation (2020 Vision). In 2019 he decided to stop all his commercial life to dedicate his time to activism with Extinction Rebellion and XR Buddhists \nHis core belief (and experience) is that in activism and in life\, the most important thing is to learn not how to fix things\, but instead to try to learn how to find creative and courageous\, kind and wise responses to the many challenges we face. Finding Joy is a key aspect of this work. \nHe lives in Somerset with his lovely partner Ros\, where a significant part of their lives is dedicated to serving their unpredictable cat\, Olly.

SUMMARY:Atelier-16 Attitudes pour Mieux Vivre Niveau 2 | en Français
DESCRIPTION:Approfondissement après le niveau 1 : Explorer le côté ombre des 16 Attitudes\nAperçu de l’Atelier :\nAprès le niveau 1\, ce cours d’approfondissement vous permet de mieux comprendre votre propre part d’ombre. \nDans ce cours d’approfondissement\, nous mettons en lumière le “côté ombre” des 16 Attitudes. Explorer cette facette\, c’est accéder aux valeurs universelles en examinant leur opposé\, là où nous ressentons de la résistance ou blocage. \nEn reconnaissant et en accueillant ces parts d’ombre présentes en chacun de nous\, nous amorçons un processus de guérison qui nous permet de retrouver notre intégrité et de transformer les énergies néfastes en forces positives. La pratique de la pleine conscience permet d’identifier et accueillir les défis\, les réactions automatiques qui génèrent stress et tensions. \nNous approfondirons également les fondements philosophiques des 16 Attitudes\, ainsi que les quatre thèmes de sagesse qui les structurent. Cela vous aidera à vous sentir plus à l’aise avec ces outils\, dans un cadre riche en échanges. \nApprenez à :\n\n Identifier les défis rencontrés dans votre pratique de la pleine conscience et transformer les réactions automatiques qui génèrent stress et tensions.\nComprendre les fondements philosophiques des 16 Attitudes et les quatre thèmes de sagesse qui les structurent.\nIntégrer\, appliquer et être créatif avec ces outils dans votre quotidien pour faire face aux situations réelles avec plus de conscience et de sérénité.\nCréer du lien avec d’autres participants\, s’engager dans une communauté bienveillante et partager expériences et apprentissages.\n\nLes 16 Attitudes sont : l’humilité\, la patience\, le contentement\, la joie\, la gentillesse\, l’honnêteté\, la générosité\, la parole juste\, le respect\, le pardon\, la gratitude\, la loyauté\, l’aspiration\, les principes\, le service\, le courage. \nSchedule\n\nDATE: 20-21 juin 2026\, 10h – 17h30\nLIEU: Institut Vajra Yogini\, Marzens\, dans le Tarn\nINSCRIPTIONS-16attitudes@gmail.com\n\n\n*Minimum de 8 personnes. \n*Cet atelier est proposé sur la base d’un don\, avec un montant suggéré de 80 €. \n\nCe stage est suivi d’un Niveau 3 pour ceux qui souhaitent devenir facilitateur et sera donné en ligne en fin d’année.

Participants take turns listening without giving advice\, interrupting\, or debating\, and each speaker feels fully heard and understood. \nThe practice is practical and applicable to everyday conversations\, and when navigating difficult conversations. The Empathy Circle practice not only hones empathy but also fosters a range of valuable skills\, such as communication and conflict management skills\, making it a powerful tool for personal growth\, conflict resolutions and meaningful dialogue. \nThe Empathy Circle was developed by Edwin Rutsch\, founder and director of The Empathy Center\, based on the work of psychologist Carl Rogers. The four core values of the Empathy Circle are empathy\, mutuality\, openness and caring \nIf you want to know more about the Empathy Circles\, please make sure to check Maria and Janna’s presentation on the 2026 Empathy Summit .
