Find your seat and enjoy interacting with the performers as you boo, hiss, cheer, sing, and laugh along. You can even rent tomatoes to throw at the villain during one part of the performance, but please don't bring your own tomatoes!

Lessons for Living: Receiving Reality

How we respond to uncertainty, change and life’s unexpected challenges shapes how we lead, care for others and live. Much of our suffering arises not simply from what happens to us, but from our resistance to what is. We often divide life into success and failure, joy and grief, certainty and mystery. Yet the deepest truths of being human rarely fit into either/or. They ask us to make room for both/and. Join Clarehouse for Lessons for Living: Receiving Reality, a one-day contemplative retreat exploring how to receive the fullness of life. Through guided meditation, embodiment practices, reflective listening and honest conversation participants will explore patterns of resistance and develop a practical framework for navigating life's paradoxes and unexpected gifts.
