hosted by Kim Dwyer along with guest teachers, Kathleen picardi & Christine cunning for a long weekend retreatment.
Creativity is our birthright. And you want to know what keeps us from knowing and realizing this? Time.
We need to have time to drop everything and retreat. Retreat can help us to see our accumulated habits and ways of being. Often during retreat life choices – including creativity – reveal themselves and we can leave with a renewed sense of clarity and direction.
During retreat all of our needs are taken care of and all we have to do is surrender to this experience, in the most beautiful meditation center.
the center has 426 acres of fields of goldenrods and wild flowers, and hiking trails. the 2 retreat houses are built in the korean tradition of simplicity and with a courtyard in the center. all meals are farm to table and local, vegetarian with a korean influence and prepared for us by the ministers. you will be supported during retreat by kim, kathleen and christine.
we will offer a variety of meditation, yoga, creative inquiry, journaling, hiking to choose from or maybe what you need is taking a nap with a nice book. rooms include single, double or quad. all meals and classes are included.
