The Roots of Attraction:
Beyond the Personal
with
Trebbe Johnson and Charles Tack

Institute of Noetic Sciences Retreat Center
Petaluma, CA
Part 1: June 27-29
Part 2: October 9-12

Physically and energetically, the powerful force of attraction is constantly grabbing us and forcing us to pay attention to something outside ourselves. Often we try to ignore what attracts us. Sometimes we take the opposite path and pursue an attraction we know isn't good for us.

Yet every attraction -- whether it's to a person, an object, or a cause – is trying to awaken some aspect of our soul.

In this workshop we explore how to let our attractions feed and nourish us instead of eating us alive. Looking beneath the surface of what seduces us, we discover a deeper longing for meaning and purpose in our life.

With two teachers who have independently pioneered new ways of working with the roots and possibilities of attraction you will:
• Discover how the loves that open (and sometimes break) your heart are actually vital to the growth of your soul
• Learn how to pay attention to what's calling your heart and soul, not just your libido
• Examine the pitfalls, limitations, and triumphs that can arise when you allow yourself to pursue your attraction
• Take the first steps toward following your attractions in fruitful ways instead of losing yourself to them



Trebbe Johnson is the author of The World is a Waiting Lover:
Desire and the Quest for the Beloved. As the director of Vision Arrow, she leads workshops and journeys worldwide that combine adventure travel, mythic imagination, and the quest for meaning. She lives in rural northeastern Pennsylvania.


Charles Tack has explored the dynamics of attraction for twenty years. As a workshop leader and coach, he blends pragmatic skill development with principles of Taoism, Jung's active imagination process and energetic practices from aikido. He lives in northern California.
