Simple Presence, Simple Joy: Navigating the Changing Landscape
Join us as we co-create a space for respite and renewal in this weary and stressful world of an ever-changing landscape. Rebuild and strengthen your ability to hold the tensions of both living in the midst of uncertainty while, at the same time, staying spiritually grounded. Nourish your body, mind and heart through prayer, small and large group discussion, journaling, quiet time, laughter, music, movement, and resources. Rest in peace, be awakened in joy, and experience the simple presence of God in our midst.
Goals
- To create a safe and welcoming space to share from your heart, soul, body, and mind;
- To offer support in slowing your pace, resting and reflecting on your inner life;
- To create opportunities to connect with, learn from, and offer wisdom and insights with others;
- To provide practical and spiritual tools to integrate self-care practices into your daily life.
Cost: $320 per person. This includes two nights in a bedroom with a private bath and all meals and materials.
Retreat check-in begins at 4 PM on Friday, June 6. Dinner is served at 5:30, with the first retreat session starting at 7 PM. The retreat will end after the Sunday morning session, before lunch.
