Samaria the Next Day

We know the stories. We’ve heard them many times before. Let’s put fresh eyes on the journey of the Israelites from oppression toward their Promised Land. Does their plight resemble anything of life as we know it?  As in today’s world, when numerous beliefs are strong and valid, opinions collide. Sometimes all it takes is a new perspective to pierce through the darkness that attempts to blind and suppress. 

 

This retreat, facilitated by Meg Castellini, will shed light on the promise you hold deep in your heart that is meant to be shared with others. “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” (Romans 10:15) Come experience Living water - a spring bubbling up - like never before! Join us as we venture to Samaria the Next Day where we will be embraced, enlightened and the flame of God’s Spirit will empower us for our mission.

Burning the Midnight Oil? Save Some for Yourself!

A retreat designed with caregivers in mind. We are called to serve and love others, however, we are also called to care for and love ourselves. Based on the parable of the ten virgins, we need to be prepared and hang on to that extra oil even if we have been over-trained that it's "nice to share."

Abiding in the Loom of Life

We are God's masterpiece! With the image of God as the weaver, our lives are composed of threads in God's hands.

Song of the Soul

Music is so powerful. It can evoke memories, affect our emotions, connect us with others and aid in healing. This retreat will explore the ways in which each of us carries a life-song with us throughout our lives. Our day journey will include a discussion of some elements of music and why it is has the power to affect us. We will also contemplate some of Jesus' encounters with people and imagine what song might describe those moments. Finally, we will reflect on our own lives and discover the refrains and lyrics that have been most significant for us. There will be small group discussion, guided meditation and quiet time for prayer and reflection.
