About the Return to Purpose Retreat

In his book The Great Work of Your Life, Stephen Cope guides you in discovering the deep purpose hidden at the very core of yourself. He points to the key unlocking this mystery – the 2,000-year-old philosophical text, the Bhagavad Gita. We’ll dive deep into Cope’s book to explore the four pillars of this epic allegory about the path of dharma. 

Dharma has its roots in Sanskrit. According to Stephen Cope, "Dharma means, variously, "path," "teaching," or..."sacred duty." You might also call it your "calling," "purpose," or "sacred service." It is not to be confused with passion or your vocational duty, although some believe there is no higher calling than to serve others by way of following your dharma.

As Stephen puts it: “Dharma gives us the one thing we need to be fully human: Each of us must have one domain, one small place on the globe where we can fully meet life – where we can meet it with every gift we have. One small place where, through testing ourselves, we can know the nature of life, and ultimately know ourselves. This domain, this one place that is uniquely ours, is our work in the world.”

With Andrea and Kristin as your guides, you’ll advance your understanding of your signature calling to find more alignment, meaning and purpose in all that you do. You’ll gain a variety of insights and tools to help you awaken and energize your calling in this unprecedented time.
