Lay facilitators Melanie Hoffman (GGN Flow facilitator), Chris Peet, and Nathan Binnema, will create a container for you to explore and experience our full range of feeling and expression, and host activities based in the work of How to Live in a Chaotic Climate, the Work that Reconnects, and other rituals. Expect opportunities to laugh, cry, relax, open up, nourish, and connect with yourself and nature.”
