Living the Question

Living the Question

This five-day experiential program invites you to explore life’s essential paradoxes through Haven models, breathwork, expressive arts, and experiential practices. Grounded in self-responsible relational living, this workshop will bring curiosity and compassion to the human dilemmas that shape our experience:

• Isolation / Connection – Honouring and deepening connection with self and others
• Freedom / Structure – Exploring personal responsibility, choice, and the boundaries that support authentic freedom.
• Life / Death – Opening to impermanence and awakening to finding presence.
• Meaninglessness / Purpose – Meeting uncertainty with creativity, passion, and the courage to create meaning.

Engaging body, mind, energy, and spirit, participants will cultivate awareness, vitality, and the capacity to live consciously within life’s natural tensions.

Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer. Perhaps you do carry within you the possibility of creating and forming, as an especially blessed and pure way of living; train yourself for that — but take whatever comes, with great trust, and as long as it comes out of your will, out of some need of your innermost self, then take it upon yourself.             ~Rainer Maria Rilke, from “Letters to a Young Poet”
