Dear
Summer greetings! We are in the midst of our summer in-person and online programs. We review the remaining programs for this summer and invite you to attend. We will be adding more workshop dates for the fall in the near future.
👉 Online Series for Dallas with Kelley Williams on July 23-30
We are holding our 3-part series online during the summer. Our Dallas, TX program is a week-long program but note that there is a day off in between the workshops since we find online programs to be more intense.
In Olympia, WA, our online program is held one module per week; you can stay at the Priory Spirituality Center for an additional charge.
Dallas-Houston-Austin, TX. Leader - Kelley Williams
LC - July 23-24 | DC - July 26-27 | LI - July 29-30 (Saturday-Saturday).
Olympia, WA. Leader - Evelyn Wemhoff
LC - July 12-13 | DC - July 19-20 | LI - July 26-27 (Tuesday-Wednesday).
👉 Expanding the Scheduling Formats for Our Workshops
We are introducing a variety of scheduling formats for our 3 core modules (Life Context, Depth Contact, and Life Integration) that comprise the Intensive Journal program.
Kelley Williams will be leading the Part 1-Life Context workshop spread over 4 sessions - each 3 hours in length - on Sundays from 1-4 pm PDT on August 7, 14, 21, and 28. Phoenix-weekly sessions. We hope that this alternative schedule may work for some who have not been able to attend, or as a way to return to using the method.
To review, the standard format as designed by Dr. Progoff is a two day 12 hour program for each workshop module. Dr. Progoff designed it this way to provide a conducive atmosphere of progressive deepening away from your daily routine. Over the course of the workshop, you can experience the momentum and energy that builds as you get deeper into the process. We recommend this format as the basis for your work in our program.
However, we realize that many people have scheduling challenges with this format due to family, work, or health issues and want to offer some alternatives, while realizing the importance of this atmosphere. Our goal is to help you attend a program that meets your scheduling needs.
Over the past few years, we have introduced the monthly session of the Part 3-Life Integration module as a way to help you stay connected and continue your work in the method. These programs have been well-received and we are now taking the next step in building upon this format.
👉 3 In-Person Retreats Coming Up This Summer
Our in-person retreats are coming up in July and August. We need to make commitments now to each center whether our program will be held. Therefore, we need your cooperation by letting us know if you are planning to attend even though we realize you may need more time to finalize your plans.
These are all beautiful centers with excellent accommodations, staff and food.
They all are centrally located to major metropolitan areas, have single bedrooms, private bath (except NYC), and beautiful grounds.
We offer you great flexibility in terms of whether you commute or reside, and attend 1, 2 or all 3 program modules. They offer you the opportunity to experience our method in a conducive peaceful environment, away from your daily routine, and together with like-minded people working in their lives.
We are taking reasonable precautions about COVID.
