About the Event
You chose to be helpers as an important purpose in your life. Helping involves giving and in this giving, we can become depleted.
We forget that we as human beings are not an unlimited resource. Just like air, water, and land we cannot continually give and give without serious consequences.
Coming Home is an important reminder for us, that we, like any limited resource, need to be replenished. Taking time to pause and make amends with our physical, emotional, and spiritual self. To re-connect with what grounds us and gives meaning outside our giving roles.
Coming Home is the resource to replenish our entire being so that continuing to function in our giving roles can draw on more than an empty tank!
