Time & Location
Jun 22, 2023, 5:00 PM CDT – Jun 25, 2023, 11:00 AM CDT

About The Event
Come join us as we explore those connections, those ties that keep us conscious of the Divine within us and the Divine that surrounds us in creation.
We will begin by focusing on the Holy Spirit within each of us through prayer, meditation and offerings available through poetry, prose, scripture and the arts. The thread of Celtic Christian Spirituality will also be present as we recognize our natural surroundings and what many indigenous people refer to as “all our relations.”
Scripture supports this process, as do the contemporary works of John O’Donohue, Mary Oliver, Parker Palmer, Barbara Brown Taylor and Teilhard de Chardin, to name a few. Many more will emerge from our own journaling, reading and remembering those who have been our guides.
We will have opportunities to worship and to dine together, and enjoy solitude and silence of the Mountain on this retreat.
