​​​​
The Goodenough Summer Gatherings are a rich mix of learning, practice, and skill-building that happen within a container of friendship and good will. For over 56 years, we have developed and refined our method of offering these life-changing experiences to ourselves and the wider world. Expert teaching sessions are enlivened by an atmosphere of play and exploration. These lessons are further explored in small group sessions where participants can feel safe and respectfully held as they learn to manage their inner landscape of feelings in ways that promote greater understanding and well-being. Singing, drumming, dancing, splashing in the river, evenings by the fire and in the hot tub are social times were we get to put our new skills into practice, and offer - and receive - supportive feedback about how our new behaviors are landing. Once we've practiced in an atmosphere of loving community, we get to take our new understandings out into our daily lives!
