Dear friends,
I am looking forward very much to seeing some of you at the in-person community gathering in August on the Oregon coast to honor Arny and his beautiful and vast spirit and legacy. It will be a chance to nurture our relationships, creatively renew our community spirit, and dream into the future with Arny by our side.
Kas and Brooke have generously offered to help coordinate the event.
Looking forward to seeing many of you there. Please see details and registration info below.
With love,
Amy and also Kas & Brooke

The Gathering:
Here are some ideas about the gathering that we are dreaming about now. And, of course, there will be spontaneous co-creating and dreaming that arises in the moment!
· Inner work to feel what we want to bring to the gathering and what the dreaming wants to manifest for our time together.
· Sharing experiences of Arny
· Time for those who want to share current creative work/ studies/ interests/ research
· A creative inner work/art project to enrich community
· Dreaming about the future together and how Arny is guiding us
· Working with someone in the middle (person and facilitator chosen by the pen) as the Tao of the moment and the future.
· Dancing together at the end (as Arny and I often did at the end of seminars)
We hope to create an atmosphere of dreaming, excitement, and learning that has been a foundation of our community since Arny began developing process work in Switzerland so many years ago.
Timing:
August 22nd, 10am-1pm and 4pm-7pm with a shared catered dinner at 7pm. It will be a simple vegetarian, gluten free meal with salad with a suggested donation of $20 per person.
August 23rd, 10am-3pm including a “snacky” lunch together! (We will provide things like hummus and crackers, tuna salad, bread, drinks. If you want to bring something for yourself and/or to share with others, please do!)
