Everybody says that we are born in the image and likeness of God. And yet, we all forget the truth and gradually start to believe a series of lies, all based on the fundamental lie – that we must pretend to be somebody we are not, in order to get our needs met.

As adults, most of what we do is driven by these sorts of unconscious, habitual assumptions. It is as if we are sleep-walking through our own lives. Real spirituality is about waking up.  Waking up to who we were from the very beginning.

In this retreat you will learn and experience the power of three practices: Deep Gratitude, The 5-Minute Examen, and the Welcoming Prayer. This retreat will guide you on a journey of self-discovery and renewal.

Ready for deeper awakening? Join us!
