Married Couples Retreats Dates: November 14 & 15, 2009 Enshrining Our Sacred Spaces Retreats With our busy lives, we often need to take time to be in our Sacred Spaces. This retreat will teach you how to make simple "shrines" that can be placed in your prayer corner to call you to silence and prayer.Artistic talent is not needed, just the imagination and openness to create what you hear in the silence of your heart. Participants will be guided through several contemplative prayer activities to assist them in listening to what God is calling them to and then have the opportunity to create a tabletop shrine that captures this revelation. All art materials needed for making the shadow box shrines will be provided. Come away and experience how creativity and spirituality can complement one another. Take home your shrine for your own sacred space.

Woman's Wisdom The Heart Of Matter Dates: February 18 & 19, 2010 February 27 & 28, 2010 Our physical body matters! When we accept our body as good enough and natural, it can be a powerful source of inner guidance and wisdom. This two-day workshop with North American women is designed for personal healing and transformation. Feel more at home in your own skin. Negative attitudes towards our bodies and sexuality, influenced by cultural and religious traditions, will be addressed and released through a gentle, safe process which includes movement, guided meditation and story-telling. Knowing from within that your body is as sacred and miraculous as any other part of creation will encourage you to bring to birth your unique wisdom and gifts. As we heal ourselves, we heal our country and our world. The Mercy Of God This program of meditation invites you to reflect on the Mercy of Christ that redeems us, transforms us, and helps us to grow more fully into the Image of God: the vocation of all human beings.

The meditation employs select images as it explores three topics: Love and Creation-Sin and Redemption-Invitation and Resurrection.
