Frequently Requested Topics:
Knowing Self, Knowing Others, Knowing God
According to Thich Nhat Hanh, “The real miracle is not to walk on water but to walk on earth...to encounter God right in the present moment when we are washing the dishes, looking at a flower, looking into the eyes of another.” Participants are invited to distinguish between narcissistic navel-gazing and the theological relevance of how deepening one’s knowledge of self and others can lead to a fuller communion with Spirit.
Love’s Journey: A Retreat for Couples
What does your journey with your partner have to do with experiencing your faith? And how might delving into the beautiful and bumpy aspects of this relationship expand your capacity for experiencing the Holy? We will explore these queries through images, music, and stories. Whether you are with a long-time partner or on the precipice of new romance, we will consider how you might live in deeper presence to your life — by being willing to encounter the fullness of your humanity, brought most especially into relief through your closest relationships.
The Spirituality of Aging
Do you fear or embrace the aging process? While we live in a society which extols youth, we are also living in an era where people in the second half of life encounter more possibility than ever before. Explore the losses and opportunities which surface as we age, and ponder the questions and spiritual practices that reveal where we find generativity and vitality, and uncover the places that are barren and brittle.
The Inner Landscape of Beauty
In our culture we often confuse glamour and polish for beauty, meanwhile neglecting the inner work of the soul, which can lead to true luminosity. Through images, music, poetry and interactive questions, women are invited to consider their longing for Beauty, encounters with Beauty, and thresholds to Beauty...Not Clinique or Lanôcme beauty, which is all well and good, but Divine Beauty, which is beyond words.
