Retreat at The Rowe Center Gathering Room: Making Deeper Contact

A 17-Day Virtual Retreat to Expand Your Awareness of Life

Embracing both sides of your existence — pleasure and pain, health and illness, ease and suffering, life and death – you truly befriend yourself and others. This deep acceptance creates an opening to all the varying conditions that emerge in your experience, and to the love and truth that are made available through them.

This four-part course, consisting of sixteen video classes and five live discussion sessions with Polly, offers a new way of encountering your life: to refuse nothing and to learn from everything. Learning to embrace both sides of life will change your mind about everything and build your confidence on all levels.

This course is suitable for life coaches, executive coaches, therapists, and those seeking individual personal development. It includes teachings on individual development, couple relationship, love, death, illness, and the human life span.

NEW Pay Attention: Interviews

Polly Side 3.jpg

We all feel lost and confused about what is emerging in our personal, social, economic and spiritual lives. While we may sense that there is something promising on the horizon, we cannot be sure we can grasp it or trust it. Polly Young-Eisendrath, Ph.D. has decided to dedicate herself, in a new way, to being an “independent truth seeker” and integrate new perspectives and knowledge that are now coming into view.

These “interviews” are actually more like in-depth conversations about topics that we are all wondering about now. She will talk with spiritual teachers, scientists, medical experts, those who are imagining different monies and economies, and essayists and social commentators. She engages in true dialogue with people who come from diverse political, social, and knowledge perspectives. Her desire is to open new avenues of investigation that will help all of us be better able to integrate what is happening on earth right now.

Embracing Homo Sapiens: Real Dialogue for Opposing Sides (A Humanity Rising Event)

Polly will speak on solving problems of racism, climate crisis, pandemic, or wealth inequality that afflict humanity. We must work with our own species that is driven to polarize repeatedly. Embracing any ideal means finding an enemy to vanquish. Our world and our species are highly imperfect and require a different approach. Understanding the problems we have created requires stepping back from polarization without looking for compromise prematurely. Real Dialogue is both a method of facilitated conversation and a mindfulness-based skill of speaking/listening that allows individuals to see/hear/feel BOTH sides of any conflict.
