Regardless of our age, every one of us is aging forward and always transitioning through different stages during life.

How do you experience yourself now as opposed to when you were younger? How would you describe the issues important to you at this stage of life?
How has your experience of your instinctual preferences changed? Is anything stronger, is anything diminished, anything missing/discovered? How has your experience of your type changed? Is anything stronger, is anything diminished, anything missing/discovered?  How do your current life stage transitions have ease because of your natural style? How have your instinctual preferences and type helped or hindered your changing and aging processes over time? Is there more you are being asked to develop beyond what comes to you naturally?  How might a community of others expand your awareness and skillset for the years ahead? What wisdom amongst us all can be communicated to those younger than us, to caregivers, family, partners and friends?

This community is open to join at anytime. It meets at the Oregon Coast in Spring and in Portland Oregon in Fall. A reflective day for folks who talk type, all levels are welcome but this retreat day assumes a general familiarity with the system of instincts and types. Lunch is 12:30-2:30 on your own (or with other participants!) at the plentiful food options nearby. An optional no-host fun social dinner follows immediately nearby.

The day is open to participants of all ages and stages- the focus is on how our reliance on preferred instincts and type may change throughout the lifespan. Expect self-reflections with questions such as described above, and dyads/triads/small groups and panels of shared instinct & type participants exploring their own worldviews for everyone's experience and benefit.
