March 24th – March 29th, 2020

To “listen” another’s soul into a condition of disclosure and discovery may be almost the greatest service that any human being ever performs for another. – Douglas Steere

Due to current public health restrictions this event has been canceled.

God is calling us to be more than we know and to live and act from a place of deep connection with the Spirit. In this 5-day retreat we’ll help each other pay attention to the divine presence within, explore what blocks our whole-hearted response, and offer support for following the leadings of the Spirit.

There will be opportunities for individual reflection as well as time in pairs and small groups for listening one another into new discovery and fresh expressions of the truth that resides in our hearts.

We’ll explore practices that include evoking questions, mirroring, extended worship, expressive movement, and the Faithfulness Groups format. This program is suitable for adults of all ages who seek a deeper grounding in the life of the Spirit and are able to give loving attention to support others
in doing the same.
