October 25 - 28,
2002
Cost: $250
double occupancy, $310 single
The fall season
is a time of letting go. We will examine how we can use this
season as way of
reflecting on the transitions in our lives, honouring our gifts, accepting
where we are and letting go of what we need to. Connecting with spirit is
a way of opening to grace in our lives. This facilitates our ability to
surrender. The retreat will include rituals, chanting, sharing, yoga,
breathwork and meditation, periods of silence and time for reflection.
Location: on
Cortes Island
in Bluff house
and Raven on the Hollyhock property.
Next Cortes
Island retreat tentatively
scheduled for October 2003
