More valuable than Consulting

May 28, 2018 by Christine Lines Leave a Comment

In the world of business the path is hardly ever clear, however, in most industries there are decades of academic research, more data than a single person could ever read in a hundred lifetimes and lines of professionals stretching for miles. All ready to help shore up the directions businesses are headed in.

Nate Huges, Assistant Director of Menla, speaking during the 2018 Gathering

The story is very different for younger industries such as holistic centers. The path, just like for most businesses, isn’t clear or certain. It’s much harder to find research, data and industry best practices to learn from and benchmark the organization to. It takes ingenuity to mould other industry practices to an industry that doesn’t quite fit the norm. It’s often long hours, team brainstorms, and simply putting faith in doing something that hasn’t been done before.

Appreciations from the Gathering in Quebec City

August 10, 2016 by Christine Lines 7 Comments

Dear Center’s Gathering friends,

Thank you for warmly welcoming me and Elena to the 2016 Gathering.

I am still settling into the sweetness of everyone’s presence; all the heartfelt conversation, declarations, explorations that you gifted so openly. What an incredible group of people! Thank you to the leaders who ushered this event into being. Thank you to the facilitators, who tenderly brought out the best in us.

Inspiration from the Gathering in Greece

May 19, 2015 by Christine Lines 2 Comments

I came to listen and it’s been an exquisite connection with so many people. I’ll share from that space with my center, the gift of being here. The ways we connected were beyond my logical brain, I got things I hadn’t anticipated and feel very blessed. I definitely support our planetary family of transformational centers!

Cathy McNally
The Haven

I appreciate the wisdom and support I’ve received from so many people, specifically help with reframing issues. I now have practical ways to go back and tackle some of the recurring problems. I feel incredibly nourished by this land, the presence of the nature spirits. I feel full of appreciation, hope and connection, nature was really supporting us this week too.

Reflections from previous participants

August 24, 2013 by Centers' Gathering Leave a Comment

I’m grateful and happy the Gathering is so strong and dynamic. It’s here and it’s here to stay and that is very fulfilling. I have a huge appreciation for Esalen, they did a magnificent job with the space, the schedule, the community. I feel personally renewed by the natural beauty, the heart connections and new friends.

There is a planetary transformation of consciousness and these centers give people hope. It’s possible to be together in a new way, a meeting in the heart, all coming together in a beautiful ambience. I feel very happy about the future of the Gathering.

Ralph White
New York Open Center

I have only sixteen pages of notes worth taking! A reflection of the richness of the Gathering. I’ve valued the open space, the number of optional sessions and appreciate the heartfelt connections.

Brajesh Friedberg
Mount Madonna Center

It’s been a wonderful week, I’ve enjoyed every second and couldn’t be happier its at The Haven next year. I will do my best to make sure it’s as wonderful as this year at Esalen!

Eureka Institute share their experience of Esalen 2013

May 12, 2013 by Centers' Gathering Leave a Comment

Greetings All!

I can’t tell you how much spending the week with some of the most experienced, patient, and loving people in my up and coming field meant to me. I came back with a vibe that has been contagious! Many great things have happened, and what you have shown me it is no doubt infectious. You are all doing such great work, worthy of a legacy to leave behind. You have shown me the way, and I can’t tell you all how much I appreciate it, from the bottom of my heart. I realized there is so much to learn, not just about myself, but bringing something…….different. We are all filling the gap, so to speak, for the type of learning experience we feel will give fuel to present and future generations that create a better place for all. I’m in total admiration, believe me!

I feel compelled to participate in any way you all feel I can contribute, so please let me known if you have any thoughts. I will absolutely put in as much time as I can to see that retreat centers around the world can connect and benefit as I have from being around such an inspiring group!

Peace, Love, and Freedom!

Cheers! (From North Idaho!)

The 2020 Gathering…

The international Centers Gathering was originally being hosted by Esalen in May this year, the birthplace of the human potential movement,

Given the unexpected crisis around the world, with many people 'staying in place' and centers closing temporarily, HCN is now offering a virtual gathering for holistic centers.

We come together to meet the challenges, and embrace the opportunities of an ever deepening sense of community, in service to the renewal and rebalancing of the world.

Network of Light Meditation

Our global meditation to strengthen the network is every Thursday 2pm GMT.

We invite you to join Insight Timer and actively contribute to more stillness in the world.

When you join Insight Timer you become part of a world-wide community of more than 950,000 meditators in 130 countries.

This gathering has been INCREDIBLE. As a small center based way out in Yosemite National Park, I really feel folded into the greater network. This feels so vital. Thank you for creating this!
