Conversations & Resources
At Retreat House, we are open to and welcome difficult conversations. It is not our desire to fix. It is our hope that the RH Community and Guests find a safe space to let words emerge from within. These words emerge from deep places within that may be tied to judgment and old wounds. Using Circle Way Leadership and Living Room Conversations models, it is our desire to sit with and embrace these words and feelings. Each circle has a trained facilitator and a guardian whose role it is to create a safe, compassionate space for deep listening to emerge.
The most rewarding and the most difficult part of the circle is sitting with my stuff that comes up.
I can’t project it across the table, so I have to sit with it and let it teach me.
Rev. Deanna Hollas.
