 e polarized! We invite you to join the wisdom voices of Sister Helen Preje
 an\, Sharon Salzberg\, Rev. Adam Taylor and the three co-founders of the H
 olistic Life Foundation in a contemplative yet active retreat for all conc
 erned by growing divisions yet trusting that all things have potential to 
 change for the good. Learn how to hold the tensions and stay committed to 
 the conversation in the democratic process as well as in our families\, co

 REGISTER HERE</span></a>In the spirit of Wisdom Sharing\, this retreat–for
  all ages\, gender\, races\, faiths and political affiliations–focuses on 
 the undeniable importance of building bridges across our differences. Its 
 healing approach is designed to refresh our vision for what we as citizens
  of the United States might generate through respectful dialogues\, deeper
  listening and creative problem solving. Here in the sacred space of its h
 igh-desert refuge\, Ghost Ranch Education & Retreat Center promises a new 
 kind of civic education that encourages citizens to acknowledge the comple
 xities and even brokenness in our cherished system and yet remain fully en
 gaged.</p>\n<div id='stcpDiv'>\n<p>This transformative event is for those 
 who value the right to vote\, to speak out and to stand up for others\, es
 pecially the marginalized and those often not heard. It is for all who see
 k an alternative to whatever makes us fearful\, angry and divided. “We the
  People” will explore how our greatest strengths arise from our diversity\
 , willingness to compromise\, capacity to love\, and respect for all.</p>
 \n<p>This restorative gathering is for those who recognize that full engag
 ement requires dedicated and intentional time to nourish our souls as we g
 ain new skills and perspective. The wide open vistas and warm hospitality 
 of Ghost Ranch offer such a sanctuary where we will create an alternative 
 oasis of calm\, thoughtfulness\, compassion and laughter around the 2016 e
 lection.</p>\n<p>The experiential sessions include dynamic morning plenary
  sessions\, workshops\, dialogue circles\, spiritual practices\, yoga\, hi
 king\, private reflection and contemplative meditation/prayer.</p>\n<p> </
