In this 5-day depth transformational retreat, we will host a space for creative visionaries to viscerally comprehend the felt infrastructure of an ancestral future centered in safety and connection. During the day, Gabriel will teach the neurobiology of connection, scaffolded on his forthcoming book, The Neurobiology of Connection and its associated Foundation Model of Autonomics. Based on 30 years of research, crowd-sourced with more than 15,000 participants in 50 countries, co-created with input from more than 100 advisors in 25 disciplines of wellbeing across 24 cultures (many of them Indigenous), including a dozen of the world’s leading experts in connection and wellbeing, the Foundation Model unites the cutting-edges of autonomic physiology, neurochemistry, and ancestral lifeways into a living map of embodied autonomic states. At night, Gabriel and Alnoor will co-host dialogues around the intersection between individual physiological transformation and re-centering in safety and connection and the transformation of systems from the economic to the political. Alnoor is co-author (with Lynn Murphy) of Post-Capitalist Philanthropy, and a world-renowned transformational activist in developing life-centric models of philanthropy. His deconstruction of capitalism if effectuated with laser-like clarity, and he is living into what comes beyond it every day. Terra Valiente, the eco-reserve hosting the retreat, is a living example of an eco-system and community designed from these principles.
