~William Morris
Fire & Water Structure -- In Person (If CoVid Compatible) + Virtual
This program is a 16-month leadership and learning commitment. It is intended to have both specific learning and participation accountabilities, as well as deliberate spaciousness to welcome what arises, surprises, and that requires more integration time. We will cap total participants at 24, so as to support an essential intimacy and unique colleagueship together. The large group will also be formed into smaller support teams of five - six people each. All participants should plan on:
Gathering 1 — The Call & It’s Departure from Norms
September 22-26, 2021
Gathering 2 — The Journey & The Facing of Ordeals
March 23-27, 2022
Gathering 3 — The Return & Recognition of Gift
November 16-20, 2022
All participants are expected to commit to the full program. All learning will be of mind, heart, and spirit.
About Hope Springs Institute, Our Face-to-Face Gathering Spot
Face to face meetings will take place at Hope Springs Institute in Peebles, Ohio, deliberately chosen to hold us in deep and kind learning. All meals will be provided, Wednesday evening through Sunday lunch. Most accommodations are double occupancy, shared bathrooms -- some single rooms may be available.
The Institute - nestled in the Appalachian foothills, just a 1-2 hour drive from Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, Huntington and Charleston - is the ideal location to reflect, relax and renew. Hope Springs abuts 100+ acres owned by the Arc of Appalachia, allowing visitors to enjoy 130-acres of pristine wilderness, three ponds, walking and hiking trails, a labyrinth, outdoor fire pit, Celtic Grandmother’s Circle for meditation, and the best of nature’s beauty.

We will cap total participants at 24, so as to support an essential intimacy and unique colleagueship together. The large group will also be formed into smaller support teams of five - six people each. All participants should plan on:
- 3 intensive residential, face-to-face gatherings that run Wednesday evening through Sunday afternoon at Hope Springs Institute, located in Peebles, OH. In a time of COVID-19 and a changing world we want to enter into this agreement with eyes wide open knowing that some or all of these retreats may have to take on other forms, but our intention and preference is face-to-face.
- Bi-monthly whole group web-based video conference calls (Zoom), in which we further knit together questions, experiences, and connection from the entire cohort.
- Monthly support teams video conference calls, in which small groups of five-six connect to share learning, experience, and lend support in applied practice.
- 2 personal coaching sessions from either Quanita or Tenneson, as well as one shared in-person coaching session (at Hope Springs).
- Monthly engagement through a private online community platform (Basecamp) to stay abreast and connected with fellow cohort happenings. We will use Basecamp instead of email for our communication. It helps to keep everything organized and in one place, including handouts and participant offered resources. The Basecamp will be available throughout the life of our time together. You can download anything you’d like to keep.

My self trust has deepened as has my faith in Spirit and an experience of interconnectedness with all of life. In this of time of significant global shifting, NOW is the time to shed what no longer serves so that we can contribute to the Great Turning. With ease and flow and fierceness, Quanita and Tenneson guide us on this journey, inviting this shedding and emergence of authentic Self and community; their guidance commands our deep presence. And damn!! What awaits along the way is beyond all imagination!! All you have to do is surrender.
