July 7 to 12th – Consent: The Heart of Relationships and Communities, a Good Enough Community Summer Gathering at Sahale Learning Center, Tahuya, WA

Good Enough Community – Inspiring a conscious, just, and peaceful world through deep connection to self, community, and nature. Join us this July as we do what the Goodenough Community does so well: dive deeply into the skill-building that creates harmonious relationships.

Featuring consent and intimacy expert Dr. Betty Martin, author of the book

The Art of Receiving and Giving: The Wheel of Consent. Come learn with the support and encouragement of loving community at our 55th Summer Gathering!

Our Summer Gathering continues the mission of the Human Relations Lab, which was the Goodenough Community’s signature event for several decades.  All year Community members looked forward to the summer Lab, where they would gather for immersive experiential learning in how to live as the best version of themselves, as individuals and as a community.  Durable friendships and community bonds were formed as participants learned and played, laughed and cried together.

We still believe that experiential learning within a loving community is the most effective way to support personal growth and develop the elusive but oh-so-important skills of relationship.  While we’ll miss the extraordinary teaching skill of John and Colette, we’re still committed to providing top-tier learning facilitated by acclaimed experts.  This year we’ll be taking a deep dive into the tender and exciting topic of consent with Dr. Betty Martin, known for her cutting-edge expertise and her gracious (and playful!) facilitation style.

Fun!

Oh – and we won’t forget the yoga, singing, dancing, drumming, campfire and hot tub time…we believe in fun as much as we believe in learning! 

The Goodenough Summer Gatherings are a rich mix of learning, practice, and skill building that happen within a container of friendship and goodwill. And they’re a whole lot of fun! Space is limited and filling up fast – so register now.
