Reset & Rejuvenate: Crafting a More Intentional Life
A weekend retreat in the Texas Hill Country with Jenny Fairbank, Daniel Whiteside, and Melinda Rothouse

How do we reorient after over a year in isolation? How do we restore our energy and embrace a more intentional life despite the obstacles? These are the questions we will explore during this magical weekend retreat. We invite you to come get lost with us as we relax, reset, and rejuvenate our bodies and minds in this sacred space. This weekend program will include restorative yoga to reset your body, mindfulness meditation to rejuvenate your mind, and contemplative creativity to elevate your spirit.

• The weekend includes locally prepared vegan / gluten-free meals.
• If you’ve been yearning to unplug, deepen your spiritual and creative practice, and connect with others in a supportive space, then the Reset & Rejuvenate Retreat is for you. You’ll leave feeling energized, rejuvenated and inspired to re-enter your life with a fresh perspective and a renewed sense of grounding and purpose.
• Onsite lodging and camping available at extra cost, as well as off-site and commuter options.

The book explores how mindfulness and contemplative arts practices can help to foster team creativity and collaboration in organizational settings. Such a mindful approach to creativity offers new possibilities for facilitating organizational creativity and innovation. Combining theory and practice, it presents a series of mindfulness and contemplative arts exercises to accompany the five levels of the model. This book is a useful resource for students, coaches, consultants, facilitators, and organizational leaders seeking to understand and foster creativity and collaboration in teams and organizations.​​
