Curiosity is a skill we can cultivate to help us overcome the disconnection and division that is so common in our daily lives. In this process, we may experience a better sense of well-being and a deeper connection to our common humanity. In this 3-hour in-person retreat, we will explore our relationship to curiosity, and practice ways to enhance this quality in relationships with others.
