Deborah Eden Tull - Oct 16-18th
  • The Dharma of Connection: A Work That Reconnects Retreat
  • Join us for an embodied inquiry into The Dharma of Interconnection. Interhelp is beyond thrilled for Deborah Eden Tull to facilitate this weekend workshop, journeying the Spiral of the Work That Reconnects and complementary modalities. 

    Remembering Interconnection is actually easy, as it’s our natural state. The deeper work is to align the living process of who we are, our actions and participation in our world, with Interbeing, in every moment.

    This retreat offers a deeply restorative exploration of embodied interconnection on behalf of Collective Liberation. Through Buddhist meditation, The Work That Reconnects, conscious movement, somatic inquiry, relational mindfulness, and earth-based animistic devotional practices, we will open our  hearts more fully to the web of interdependence. Turning towards rather than away from our feeling bodies, we will allow our pain for our world to be transformed into compassionate response. 

    The spirit of autumn will guide us in letting go of what no longer serves us, amidst the Great Unravelling — and open us to the invitation of relational forms of knowing and co-collaboration with Life. Beyond the left-brain focus of the dominant paradigm, we will orient to the inner compass of intuition, relationality, and attunement with Life.

    This weekend workshop at the beautiful Wonderwell Mountain Refuge in Springfield, NH includes accommodations in shared rooms and vegetarian meals. The workshop begins with dinner on Friday evening and ends with lunch on Sunday afternoon.

    About the facilitator

    DEBORAH EDEN TULL, founder of Mindful Living Revolution, is a Zen Buddhist teacher, spiritual activist, author, animist, and facilitator of The Work That Reconnects.

    Eden teaches dharma intertwined with post-patriarchal thought and practices, resting upon a lived knowledge of our unity with the more than human world. She trained for seven and a half years as a Buddhist monk at the Zen Monastery Peace Center, a silent Zen monastery in the Sierra foothills, and has been teaching for over 20 years.

    From the moment her Buddhist practice began, it has been a path of EcoDharma, centering the natural world as our eternal teacher. Having lived in or taught about sustainable communities and organic gardening/permaculture for decades, Eden weaves the essential wisdom of nature and experiential teachings on partnership with nature into everything she offers.

    Eden’s teaching emphasizes relational presence and relational forms of knowing, acknowledging the personal, interpersonal, intrapersonal, transpersonal, societal, ecological, mystical, and global impacts of relational mindfulness. She has been immersed in an inquiry into the art of community and she is passionate about the emergent movement of relational, regenerative, and embodied leadership within our world. 

    Eden has a special gift for facilitating mindful inquiry, somatic awareness, shadow work, trauma healing, and ancestral work, helping people release limiting beliefs and collective biases that have been passed down over generations. Eden draws upon her own experience of navigating loss and grief, illness, injury, insecurity, and trauma, guiding people to embrace the alchemy of darkness and light as teachers of love.
