We will be reading Susan Cain's

          Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking 


NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Experience the book that started the Quiet Movement


“A smart, lively book about the value of silence and solitude.”—Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY PeopleO: The Oprah Magazine

At least one-third of  the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike  self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It  is to introverts—Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak—that we  owe many of the great contributions to society. 


In Quiet, Susan  Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how  much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal  throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to  permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful  introverts—from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in  solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps  into the power of questions. Passionately argued, superbly researched,  and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.

We believe the greatest adventure of all is in living our one wild life—the life that is entirely our own and has been waiting for us since we were born. Wild Within was founded to help you step into that life. We support those on this journey through retreats, gatherings, courses and workshops. We draw upon the healing and transformative power of community, the wilderness, the journey and a wide range of ancient traditions and modern teachings to aid those who hear the call of the Wild Within.

This was such a wonderful trip to be on. The accommodations from lodging, to food and amenities was fantastic. The facilitators as well as fellow retreat goers did an amazing job with making everyone comfortable and feel safe and heard. The activities and heart work we did daily really helped to open my heart and mind and in return I received powerful healing. I would suggest this retreat for anyone who is seeking deeper answers for themselves and have not been able to cultivate them elsewhere.

The leaders of Wild Within are so generous and devoted to their work for this community. Having experienced multiple retreats and community calls over the years, I can see how their skillsets continue to bloom and inspire others. This year, Oregon Awaken reached even greater depths of the soul. I was much more attuned to the voices of nature, the community and myself. Thank you, Wild Within!

As always, an amazing time with Wild Within. It is nice to be able to rely on the team for consistency in providing just what my heart needs. Community. Nature. Depth. Peace. Tranquility. Learning. Growing. I always leave feeling nurtured, seen and heart over-flowing with gratitude for the people and the experience.
