Weekend Retreat i Nashville, Tennessee!

Wisdom Play

Preparing for and entering the 2nd half of Your Life!!
Masankho Banda and Diane Saliba Ault

Hermitage, TN

2 days/2 nights Friday evening through Sunday lunch

Give yourself a wonderful weekend to recharge your batteries, share your wisdom, and be honored in a special ceremony for your special place in the great wheel of life. Join Masankho and MorningStar for two deLIGHTful days with a few other sweet people at the Playroom in Nashville, TN Starting on Friday at 6pm through Sunday noon. We'll take some time to reflect on what our lifestories are showing us, and let nature teach us about "flow", make collage art, dance, sing, tell stories, laugh, shake out old habits, experience good food, fresh air, warm sun, (if we are lucky), have some quiet time. We'll shape the weekend out of the energy and desires of each soul who shows up. Our very loose theme will be around the "doorway" we face at midlife, a portal for opening our hearts to embracing the challenges and opportunities of aging with grace, adapting mindfully to the many changes going on in ourselves and the world. At the playroom you'll find an environment of fun, ease, inspiration, and support in which to explore and play with possibilities for action at this portal in your life.
