We are each on our own faith journey, and most of the time we feel disoriented. We know the grief and pain we experience as the loss of certainty, of a clear path forward, or feeling isolated among those with whom we have been close. As we work to integrate our lives within both the largest and smallest contexts, we seek anew to know who we are. We want to understand ourselves and the many influences on our lives that have led us to the place we are now, emotionally and spiritually. If you feel called to live life from a deeper, more authentic place, to find a community that supports you, and to honor the gifts of your spiritual transformation while being open to many more truths in a safe, loving environment, this retreat is for you!
Our retreats provide a window into the richness of spiritual life through open-hearted engagement with others, balanced with many opportunities for self-reflection and discovery. As we deepen our own spirituality, we awaken our creativity and openness to exploration. We begin to re-orient toward our beliefs, our faith, our own life differently. What can feel right now like deep loss can transform wonderful new ways to draw on deeper resources than we had before. An important part of that journey calls on us to expand our spiritual practices, and this retreat will offer encouragement to explore these new possibilities.

- Expand our vision of the possibilities about what our lives can look like in or out of church, and with family and others, when we deepen our spiritual understandings
