Discover Our Programs
Our cultural life is an arena for creative expression and for drawing out of each other our best versions of ourselves. Most programs have monthly gatherings and occasional weekend events. All programs are open to the public and we welcome your interest and participation.

"These folks have been together for over four decades! Takes my breath away just to write it. The Goodenough Community is an intentional learning community with the focus on ‘growing good people’. They have honed and practiced relational skills from the very beginning. The energy of the land and people of this community reflect a quality, nearly inarticulable, of graciousness of spirit, of welcoming and allowance for all who come here."
- P. Redfoot

CREATIVE EXPLORATION OF SELF
Connecting with Myself & Others in a Disconnected World
A 5-Day Virtual Experience on Human Relations
​
AUG 5-9, 2020​
​
Join the Goodenough Community for our summer personal development event, this year as a ZOOM experience, to keep us all safe.
​
We humans are relational beings who thrive with interaction. In these days of enforced isolation, separation threatens to become the new normal. Re-connect and regenerate yourself with us!
​
Drawing on Pierro Ferruci’s
The Power of Kindness and other resources, you can expect to:
​
-
Deepen your connection with your innermost self & with others.
​​
-
Reflect on what might be blocking you from being your best. Locate blocks in your body (yes, even on Zoom!), and practice tools to release them.
​​
-
Expand your insight into your inner double binds and how they function in you and beyond yourself.
​​
-
Learn how working with your own inner dividedness is a practical way to bring healing to our culture of racism, sexism, and other forms of divisiveness.
Colette Hoff, M.Ed., and a design team of experienced facilitators will lead you in large and small groups and in individual processes designed to cultivate warmth, intimacy, insight, and learning.
