Though I play at the edges of knowing, truly I know our part is not knowing, but looking, and touching, and loving
Mary Oliver

Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.
Agnes de Mille

This retreat is a rare opportunity to engage with three internationally recognized facilitators—Arawana Hayashi, Vivian Gladwell, and Penny Williamson—each bringing a distinct yet complementary approach to accessing insight and resilience through embodied practice, deep listening, and clowning improvisation.

In a world that often demands certainty, how can we embrace the unknown with openness, curiosity, and playfulness? How can we hold space for deep inquiry, creative exploration, and embodied wisdom? 

“Celebrating Not Knowing” is a five-day immersive retreat that invites participants to explore personal, social, and systemic transformation through three unique but interconnected modalities: Social Presencing Theater (SPT), Clowning, and Courage &amp; Renewal Practices.

We invite participants to consider how these practices might contribute to: 

The role of embodied awareness in leadership and community-building.
How playfulness and improvisation can open new pathways for social innovation.
The impact of deep listening and generous open questioning on discerning inner-wisdom, both individually as well as collectively.
