Planning Ahead

Our weekly Community Calls provide peer support, discussion forums and guest workshops for retreat center leaders and allied organizations. Going forward, we’ll be posting videos of these calls here in our blog.

Just click the picture above to watch the video.

On May 1st we welcomed special guest, Caesar Djavaherian, MD, to discuss how we might approach re-entry into our retreat center spaces as the pandemic eases. During his presentation and Q&A, Caesar helped us look at the medical science behind testing, vaccines, and infection rates, as well as explore strategies to protect ourselves and our guests. Not an easy conversation, but incredibly timely, and ultimately sobering.

We continue to look toward a healthy future of retreat work in our communities, and what that might require of us. Notes and audio recording from this conversation are also available at the link below.

Facilitators:

Caesar Djavaherian, MD, co-founder and medical director at Carbon Health
