DESCRIPTION:Take a stand for positive engagement in the final months of Ele
 ction 2016 and beyond. Refuse to be polarized! We invite you to join the w
 isdom voices of Sister Helen Prejean\, Sharon Salzberg\, Rev. Adam Taylor 
 and the three co-founders of the Holistic Life Foundation in a contemplati
 ve yet active retreat for all concerned by growing divisions yet trusting 
 that all things have potential to change for the good. Learn how to hold t

 REIn the spirit of Wisdom Sharing\, this retreat–for all ages\, gender\, r
 aces\, faiths and political affiliations–focuses on the undeniable importa
 nce of building bridges across our differences. Its healing approach is de
 signed to refresh our vision for what we as citizens of the United States 
 might generate through respectful dialogues\, deeper listening and creativ
 e problem solving. Here in the sacred space of its high-desert refuge\, Gh
 ost Ranch Education & Retreat Center promises a new kind of civic educatio
 n that encourages citizens to acknowledge the complexities and even broken
 ness in our cherished system and yet remain fully engaged.\n\nThis transfo
 rmative event is for those who value the right to vote\, to speak out and 
 to stand up for others\, especially the marginalized and those often not h
 eard. It is for all who seek an alternative to whatever makes us fearful\,
  angry and divided. “We the People” will explore how our greatest strength
 s arise from our diversity\, willingness to compromise\, capacity to love\
 , and respect for all.\nThis restorative gathering is for those who recogn
 ize that full engagement requires dedicated and intentional time to nouris
 h our souls as we gain new skills and perspective. The wide open vistas an
 d warm hospitality of Ghost Ranch offer such a sanctuary where we will cre
 ate an alternative oasis of calm\, thoughtfulness\, compassion and laughte
 r around the 2016 election.\nThe experiential sessions include dynamic mor
 ning plenary sessions\, workshops\, dialogue circles\, spiritual practices
 \, yoga\, hiking\, private reflection and contemplative meditation/prayer.
