The Goodenough Community's
Summer Gathering 2025
is all about discovering and nurturing individual and collective
STRENGTH, COMPASSION, and SKILLS
through joyful relationship... even in difficult times.
Resilience
​
... allows us to weather the challenges we face with flexibility and strength. Resilience is being as realistic as we can about what may lie ahead, and increasing our capacity to access the tools we have and gather others. Resilience is pulling together and using our resources to navigate the storms. Resilience recognizes that we can reach beyond our comfort zones and usual circles. We can turn disaster into opportunity by applying
curiosity, innovation, and imagination.
Resistance
...acknowledges that there are things that we cannot abide or condone. Our work and play at this event will include how to exercise our "no" in ways that don't shrink our capacity. This could be acknowledging what must change, maintaining clear boundaries, and taking steps to ensure transformation of the intolerable. These actions drive us to seek safety and healing within ourselves and with each other, and must be addressed at all levels if we are to manifest our vision of a
conscious, just, and peaceful world.
Regeneration
... happens when we free ourselves from outmoded ways of thinking, feeling, and doing/not doing. We unlock openness to inspiration, thoughtful response, and new paths forward. We move together, in joy and connection -
from surviving to thriving!
