23rd Annual Women's Creative Process Retreat:
CPR for the Soul
"Heart Work for Hard Times"
Solomon Episcopal Conference Center
In these hard times, those of us committed to a spiritual path, must create practices to keep us on the path. One important practice is to ask ourselves questions - often over and over again - because our answers change and deepen over time. This practice, along with life's experiences and our evolving relationship with our Creator removes layers, revealing to us our questions, posed by Wayne Muller, in his book, How Then, Shall I Live? -- "Who am I, really?"; "What do I love?"; "How shall I live, knowing I will die?"; and "What is my gift to the family of this Earth?" We invite you to come explore these timeless questions with us, through worship, prayer, silence, deep listening circles, music, sacred movement, art, writing, dreams, body work, fun and more. Please join us for this life-giving retreat weekend.

Discount if paid in full by July 24, 2018
