Love's Way
Saturday, April 9th from 8:45-4:45pm
We are called to move from being admirers at an audition (fans) to disciples with a destiny (followers). This retreat will unearth Via Dolorosa and Via Lucis and then resurrect them from the confines of Good Friday and Easter rituals to become daily- living transformative experiences of the resurrection.
Lunch included.
-
Nine Stones
Saturday, April 23rd from 8:45-4:45pm
Our task is not to seek for love, but to remove all the barriers within ourselves that we have built against this living force. This retreat will challenge participants to put aside the 9 stones so that the decaying tombs of our culture become ‘wombs that resurrect.’ The 9 Beatitudes will be resuscitated in the process.
Lunch included.
-
Shadow Breakthrough
Saturday, May 14th from 8:45-4:45pm
Where there is light, there’s going to be a shadow. To recognize what the shadow is and where it comes from is a catalyst for transformative growth. This retreat uses the technique of shadowboxing, a practical routine to work more intentionally with the shadow, to lead participants to a consciously deeper holy place.
Lunch included.
-
Satyagraha II
Saturday, May 28th from 8:45-4:45pm
Past and present prophets respond with determined but nonviolent resistance to violence. They present the only path available through hell to beloved community. This retreat will offer ways to combat personal complacency, confront present oppressive societal forces, and stop the silencing of the sacred voices in our midst.
Lunch included.
-
Universal Enslavement
Saturday, June 11th from 8:45am-4:45pm
When a bird gets free, it doesn’t go back for scraps left on the bottom of the cage. This retreat will introduce a path that leads us from constraint and dis-ease to mindful-isness. To ignore this is to miss life’s intention, accompanying energy and healing Presence.
Lunch included.
-
Addiction Dissolution
Saturday, June 25th from 8:45am - 4:45pm
When we refuse to look at our compulsive ways, we fail to see how we have rejected, and continue to miss, blossoming opportunities. This retreat will show how a spirituality of imperfection & vulnerability, reintroduced by the most significant American contribution to the history of spirituality, addresses this flaw.
Lunch included.
-
Mary Magdalene
Saturday, July 9th from 8:45am - 4:45pm
Life’s circumstances challenged Mary Magdalene to look into herself. She did not refuse. Human beings are the one part of creation that inexcusably rejects their own flowering. This retreat will examine the seven conversion transitions (or flowering) Mary went through so as to provide a resurrection map for us all.
Lunch included.
-
The Manner of the Marys
Saturday, July 23rd from 8:45am - 4:45pm
Mary Magdalene once said, “Blessed is one who knows sorrow and suffering, for that person will know life.” Mary, the mother of Jesus, also trusted this mystery. There exists a realm where we are never separated from anyone we have loved. This retreat uncovers grief’s ability to process us all back to Eternal Connection.
Lunch included.
-
Privilege to Partnership
Saturday, August 13th from 8:45am - 4:45pm
God isn’t so much within us as we are within God. We live and move and have our beings in God. This retreat will examine the four major splits that are overcome when the veil is torn from top to bottom and we consciously realize the divinity that has always been ours. Spirituality is about overcoming splits.
Lunch included.
-
Destination: Home
Saturday, August 20th from 8:45am - 4:45pm
The four directions, four seasons and four stages of human consciousness lead us home. This retreat will create an opening to experience the flow found when we release ourselves into relationship with the oneness of life and the becoming of who we are – living unique expressions of the Absolute.
Lunch included.
-
Conscious Evolution
Saturday, September 10th from 8:45am - 4:45pm
To go forward there is always something that has to be let go of. Embracing the 1st half of life while transcending to the 2nd is about a ‘doing to being’ shift. This retreat will recognize how doing what we are called to do, without ties to outcome, moves us from doing to being … and an utterly new kind of doing-flow.
Lunch included.
-
The Damascus Moment
Saturday, September 24th from 8:45am - 4:45pm
A light suddenly flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say his name and ask, “Why are you persecuting me?” As with Paul, lightning initiates a weeping that waters those who long for real life. This retreat will explore the passage from ego-centric to eco-awakening through Universal Spirit portals.
Lunch included.
