   Attraction Retreat (AR), is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. AR was founded in the Spring of 2001 on San Juan Island, moved to Bellingham, WA for four years, and in the Summer of 2006 relocated to Tucson, AZ and is doing business there as Natural Systems Solutions. Our major project in Tucson is the Campaign For Our Lives, now affiliated with Transition US and known as Transition Pima. We are dedicated to helping create a just, sustainable, and peaceful world by empowering individuals, building healthy and mutually supportive communities, and educating for sustainability. We do this by using the models and metaphors provided by natural systems--which are a natural part of who we are. Our unique offerings work interdependently to help realize these goals. Join our Holistic Living Network, and we can realize these goals together.

The three branches of our tree of life

   We feel that the emergence of a just, sustainable twenty-first century reality will require

• personal healing, transformation, and empowerment;
• the re-birth of mutually supportive, interdependent relocalized communites;
• awareness of effective tools and processes needed to catalyze systemic cultural change necessary to sustain the planet; and
• networking with other change-agents to cocreate a new story--using ecological wisdom and social justice to enable sustainability.

   Each of Attraction Retreat's three branches contributes to the fulfillment of one or more of these requirements--and, when woven together synergistically, they have the potential to make a powerful contribution to the creation of a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world.

   Let yourself remember how to think and act the way nature works.
