HOLLYHOCK CANADA’S LEADERSHIP LEARNING CENTRE

2020 PROGRAM CATALOGUE Cortes Island & Vancouver, BC hollyhock.ca No matter where I am in the rest of my life, it is so good to know that Hollyhock is always there–this place, this sanctuary, this community, this retreat, this mystical garden to which I can always return to find myself once again.

PAUL KENDRICK

LEFT: AMANDA MARY CREATIVE RIGHT: DARHSAN PHOTOGRAPHY 3 Dear Friend,

2020 is going to be a special year. Can you feel it?

Hollyhock exists to inspire, nourish, and support people who are making the world better. Each year we offer over 100 programs and conferences on Cortes Island, BC and in urban locations such as Vancouver, BC.

What makes our gatherings so special? At our Cortes Island campus you’ll find breathtaking natural landscapes and over-the- top delicious garden-fresh meals—but beyond that, what you’ll discover here is connection. People often tell us that Hollyhock is a place where they found themselves or “their people.” In a world full of societal strife and environmental crisis, this relational work is more important than ever.

The more each one of us experiences and practices connection, the more capacity we have to create meaningful impact. Taking time for your personal growth not only supports you, it supports your community, and ultimately, the world.

We’d love to make your 2020 year a meaningful one.

We can’t wait for you to join us.

Warmly,

Peter ceo, Mike board chair, and the Hollyhock team
