Spiritual Renewal
RITUALS, CELEBRATIONS, & GATHERINGS

By witnessing the seasons and celebrating them in liturgies, we can develop a deeper connection between the Earth and ourselves. As we become more in tune with energy shifts, our lives become more balanced and are in harmony with the environnment as with the divine. -- Diann Neu

Dreaming for Peace:
Answering Your Call to Inter-Dependence
Friday, October 24 (time: tba)
Saturday, October 25 (9 am--4pm)

Join us for a weekend retreat to discover the power of your nighttime dreams. Widen the focus of our national holiday of INdependence by exploring the possibilities of INTER-dependence
and how this will empower us individually and collectively.
Dreaming is usually seen as a solitary experience; however, throughout the weekend, we will discover the power of communal dreaming for transformation. 'Dreaming for Peace' explores the four aspects of peace: internal personal, external personal, communal, and world peace. Through input, dream exercises, journaling, diads, ritual and other creative expressions, we will discover areas of conflicts ("un-peace-ness") as well as the inner wisdom guiding us to resolution.
We will intentionally dream for a whole new world vision together!

Cost:
$110.00 (program fee); $125.00 (accommodations: two-night stay and meals)
Commuters are welcome. Can't come for the weekend? Join us for the Friday event ($85.00).
