The Shelter-in-Place order continues for many of us. Such tender, heart-opening times we are in! It's a "Thin Place" as the Celts say; a place where we know we are being invited deeper, yet a big part of us resists what is happening.
This is all part of the "Mystery." (Note the capital "M")
What does "Mystery" mean to you? Is it God, Unknowing, Love, Ultimate Reality? Or is it a quality of the Divine: letting go, trust, patience, surrender?
On Saturday, April 25, I led a soul-satisfying, morning retreat via Zoom: "Dancing with the Mystery." It was a huge success (read comments below) and seemed to be just what we needed to help us remember who we really are as divine-humans; and to nourish ourselves, and point ourselves toward joy, even in the midst of difficulty.
I'm going to be re-offering this online retreat on Sat. May 9, from 10:00 am - 12:30 pm. Would you like to join me?
What we will do during the
"Dancing with the Mystery" online retreat
• Engage with kindred spirits in sacred community, doing contemplative practices that honor ALL spiritual expressions
• Enjoy gentle, compassionate conversation
• Explore what "Mystery" means to you and what it's inviting you to today
• Journaling-lite and reflective time.
• Lectio-Divina
• A creative/art project to lean into Joy.
• Laughter, tears, and deep knowing. Remembering!
• Connect deeply with the God of your understanding so you can proceed with courage and grace in the days ahead.
What a few participants said:
"It is great comfort for me to be among these women, and to have your extraordinary view of the world at this time, in your selection of readings and your sense compassion for all of us as you listen..."
"Thanks so much for yesterday, it really was just what I and I’m sure, many others, needed!"
"Thank you for everything you do to bring us back to what matters most. Even though we were separated physically, we bonded spiritually."
Registration will be limited...
to ensure the intimacy of the retreat, as well as deep care for your soul. I'll be limiting attendance to 20 women. A few days before the retreat I will send you a list of things to bring with you to our Zoom room to make your retreat experience truly meaningful.
You'll be able to choose your level of donation:
Because I want to ensure there's a place for any woman who wishes to join the retreat, you will be able to choose your level of donation for this event. And also because I know some of you may have been financially impacted by Covid-19, this retreat needs to be completely affordable.
Please know I am here to help, guide and serve during these precipitous times. If there is anything I can do to support your spiritual journey right now, let me know.
