Art of Protection Virtual Inquiry January to May
A virtual inquiry continuing from the in-person retreat of 2008 (and can be joined at this stage), exploring a reframed definition of “protection” – namely, the skillful walking of a razor’s edge in the face of disturbing realities, with the calling questions…In our lives, organizations and communities, what are the competencies that support us to wisely engage with uncertainty, disturbance and conflict?  And how will we cultivate those competencies?

The Axladitsa Immersion Framing 11-28 May Registration  The Immersion included:
Presence Retreat 11-14 May
How does presence – individual and collective – impact what we practice, how we practice and where, so we can transform the contexts of our communities and organisations.  How does presence really support us when the carpet is being pulled?  How can we bring our chaos with us and let the land and the natural world help us to look at that?  What if, as the ground shifts, we need presence more than ever – and we need to be in the ground of our presence, and each others – to feel one anothers strength?
Art of Protection Retreat  18-21 May
An inquiry started in 2008, and continuing at the next level to explore a reframed definition of “protection” – namely, the skillful walking of a razor’s edge in the face of disturbing realities, with the calling questions…In our lives, organizations and communities, what are the competencies that support us to wisely engage with uncertainty, disturbance and conflict?  And how will we cultivate those competencies?
Art of hosting Meaning in Place  25-28 May (includes the Annual Guardians Gathering)
Butterfly Connection 8-12 June  Invitation  Journey Report
What is the world calling you to do at this time?  How to serve the world through your talent and authenticity?  How do we act out of evolution instead of revolution?  We would like to invite you for a journey to explore your inner motivations and what the world is calling you to become and to do at this time.  In this journey of personal and interpersonal connection, we will travel together a path of deep listening and meaningful conversations.  Butterfly Connection is an opportunity to reflect by yourself and with others on the source of strength that supports us in moving forward.

Olive Harvesting 10–14 November 2008 & 17–21 November  This year, we - Maria, Sarah, Ingrid and Panayioti harvested the olives at Axladitsa.  Production was low, due to rainy weather during September, which awoke a fly 'dakos' which made the olives fall early.  Despite this, the trees produced 78kg of olive oil.  The following week, we harvested on Panayioti's land.  2007 Conscious Kitchen Photos Harvesting Photos
