Companionfest!
a holistic experience; to nourish your mind, body, and spirit.
June 20-23, 2022 (Monday afternoon through Thursday morning)
Location: Asheville NC and Online
An opportunity to…
Connect with Vitality, honor Mystery, cultivate Presence, engage Moxie
In the company of other Companions and friends.
(free for Wayfaring Companions trainees)
June 20-23, we will gather together to celebrate and savor our Companions community, continuing to kindle the warmth and depth of connection among people who seek Vitality, honor Mystery, practice Presence, and nurture Moxie in ourselves and in one another. All are welcome: current, former and potentially future students of Wayfaring Companions (or Anam Cara), as well as their spouses, family, and friends.
This year, we are experimenting with an in-person and online hybrid experience. With time for intentional conversation, reflection, solitude, community, fun and flexibility, we hope to offer a unique and delightful experience for everyone, whether you are joining us in person or online. Each day, we will host practices and discussion for the entire community as well as activities specific to either the in-person or online group so that everyone will have the opportunity to interact with each other in whichever mode they are present.
Some highlights will include:
Fire ritual on the Solstice, Taize style service, contemplative time in nature, art meditation, Qigong practice, intentional table talk, and book discussion.
Registration: $25 per person (if you are a current Wayfaring Companions participant, cost is included in the tuition); does not include travel, lodging or meals.
In-person events will be hosted in Asheville NC; Online events will be hosted on Zoom.
