Choose Life: Living Love, Abundance and Gratitude Retreat – 06/20/10

Nature invites our wholeness and mutuality in relationship. This retreat is an invitation to open your mind, heart, body and soul in deeper ways to the Divine Mystery in all of creation; contemplate the sacredness of the cosmos; ponder authentic living; consider new ways of being at home in the universe; and nourish renewed hope by living out the call to love, abundance and gratitude. Each day will include discussion, communal prayer and quiet reflection. We will celebrate the sentient Earth via daily/ritual/prayer, scripture and multimedia. Come, simply be.
