Retreating in Summertime

The two summer retreat days this year were so very life-giving for the many who gathered in nature and community. 

A Sacred Pause in July at Cultus Lake led by Lorie Martin included a lightly guided circle time, collage art, labyrinth walk, and times for one-on-one soul care: harp therapy with Anya McRae, canine therapy with Scarlet, a trained therapy dog, spiritual direction, and listening prayer sessions. Enjoying the woods, water, and good food by Esther was had by all.

A Sacred Pause in August led by Katherine Murray was an all-outdoor day focusing on "The leaves of the tree are for healing." All enjoyed seven beautiful meditation stations around the beautiful property on Eden Drive Chilliwack with communion in the blue-skied outdoor cathedral.  Added to the above one-on-ones was wonderful healing massage sessions with Joanna Bravo. Once again the food and hospitality of Irene was superb!

This was the second summer for day retreats in the Fraser Valley. Looks like year three is next!

Thanks to all who facilitated and those who participated. May we continue to receive from this glorious experience with Divine Love.
