I am thrilled to announce our next retreat:
Stress and the Spirituality of Uncertainty
The more I sit with this theme, the more I feel its truth. It’s the flavor of the moment. The medicine of now.
I believe this chaos we’re living through is not random—it’s revealing. It’s as if every wound is being torn open so it can finally be seen. And I trust that healing follows when the truth is exposed, even when the unraveling feels endless.
As a Gen Xer, I grew up during an era that appeared stable—at least “for people like me.” Looking back, I see how much harm was hidden beneath that surface. It’s humbling. And it makes me long for something more honest, more inclusive, more whole.We’re being invited—forced, really—to let go of illusions. To die to what’s no longer working. To begin the slow, sacred process of becoming new.
And I’m ready if not trepidatious. Not because it’s easy—but because I know how to stay steady in the storm.
That’s what this retreat is about. My mother-in-law, Jan, and I have been exploring how to find the concentrated droplets—the purest nectar of spirituality—in the very process that comes before the rebuild–the part that feels anything BUT holy or good. Just like last year’s retreat on aging, this one asks us to honor the death-rebirth cycles of life. But this time, it’s collective.
So we ask:
- How do we walk through fear with grace?
- How do we remember everything is temporary?
- How do we trust that chaos can lead to reorganization—and something better?
- How do we stay present enough to help build that better world?In a culture of urgency and frayed nerves, the deepest healing starts with stillness.
This retreat invites you to step away from noise and into rhythm—your rhythm, nature’s rhythm, and the quiet pulse of something greater.
Through creative expression, gentle movement, guided meditation, and contemplative prayer, we’ll explore how to reconnect with what truly nourishes us. You’ll listen to the wind, the trees, your breath. You’ll feel your body begin to soften. You’ll remember what it means to be held.
Together, we’ll co-create a sacred space where stress can unwind and clarity can return. You’ll leave with grounded practices that support you—not because life will be easier, but because you’ll know how to meet it differently.
Come for beauty, stillness, and the soul-level exhale you’ve been craving.
