The Facilitators
Jackie Larkin and Maggie Ziegler have been co-facilitating Reconnecting to Life retreats since 2000. Friends for thirty years, their partnership continues to delight and inspire them. They have explored and developed this work together, attending retreats (including a month on the coast of Oregon) and facilitator trainings with Joanna Macy and John Seed. They weave together their diverse experiences as facilitators, educators, organizers and activists with a common passion for justice and the earth.
Maggie is working in Rwanda until spring, 2012. Jackie is delighted to co-facilitate with Olive Dempsey at Royal Roads in October 2011

To read some participants comments...
"A very safe environment. I felt I was doing the work alongside everyone, including the facilitators. The way the processes were strung together, it was as if we all built the web together, following your lead. It made it very easy to go deeper into myself and access my truth".
In addition to facilitating Reconnecting to Life retreats Jackie Larkin and Maggie Ziegler offer a wide range of facilitation and consultation services.
