SOMETHING IS HAPPENING DEEP IN THE SPIRITUAL STRUCTURES OF THE WORLD, slightly outside our conscious perception.  It is magical and points to the beginnings of waking up and directly opening to what is beyond our everyday lives: the Living, spiritual structure that allows us to be here.

DURING THIS EXPANDED SPIRITUAL RETREAT, Brenda will be sharing through meditation, direct insight and dialogue on a group and individual basis.  This is unlike any retreat she has offered in the past, as the focus will be more on enhancing spiritual unfoldment through heartfelt exploration.  This will be a personal discovery process to help catalyze spiritual movement without denying real individuality.

TIME WILL BE SET ASIDE for self-reflection and understanding through group and individual activities.  There will be gentle and compassionate attention to your body, mind, and emotional and spiritual awarenesses to ignite a deeper, peaceful and embodied presence for your spiritual unfoldment.

COME EXPLORE the awakening process of embodied existence that embraces both divine and human experience.  The body-mind is an expression of the living spirit and is not trivial just because it is temporary.  It is not something to “get rid of” or “get out of.”  The interplay between the divine field and your body-mind is the key to embodied existence.  Your life matters not just because you exist, but because your presence and your personal life expression is the Living Spirit incarnate.  This is the true purpose of existence.

Mid Day Breaks + Lunch Provided + Saturday Dinner

Delicious, nourishing meals & snacks will be served during your retreat. Our menu is prepared with simple, natural ingredients with an emphasis on health, flavor & balance. Each meal offers vegan and gluten free options and highlights organic and local produce whenever possible.  We take great care in serving a menu that is nutritious, tasty and also energetically balanced, to help enhance & support your retreat.

Time is woven throughout the
retreat for self reflection + relaxation

RETREAT ACTIVITIES:  Life requires a twofold approach for personal and spiritual transformation.  Self-love is about your integration into the physical plane, your creative expression.  Learning to reside in the softness and peace of the Living God at the same time allows profound transformation to occur.  The wondrous spiraling of human and spiritual evolution is fulfilled when self-love with Love of the Divine are united. This is the fullest approach to life.

AT THE RETREAT: A safe, supportive and catalytic environment will be held for you where the spiraling of body, mind and spirit can deepen their journey into love and its expression.  Be prepared to relax, receive, absorb, and take home tools for a life of peace, love and expression that is uniquely yours.

RETREAT ACTIVITIES:  The retreat will focus on unique, simple tools and practices for contacting the living flow of the very Nature of Life, which is a wondrous loving stream of relaxed movement through body, mind and spirit. Sharings focus on helping participants become sensitive to awarenesses that indicate how to exist peacefully, happily and without stress. The land itself provides its own catalytic force for transformation when participants become immersed in the peaceful and meditative space.

AT THE RETREAT: A safe, supportive environment will be provided where you can begin to uncoil life-stresses and absorb new ways of being. Be prepared to relax, receive, absorb, and take home tools for a life of peace and expression.

AS A BACKDROP: This 145-acre retreat sanctuary & nature preserve is dedicated to life balance and connection. Enjoy rolling hills, wooded trails, organic gardens and food, a pond and overnight stays in cabins or bungalows.
