“Spring Renewal –
Preparing for New Life in the Year Ahead”
With
Saadi Neil Douglas Klotz and
Philip Tansen O’Donohoe
During this year’s retreat, we will focus on spring renewal: clearing from our past choices, some of which may no longer be helpful or healthy for us; considering the known choices we face ahead and preparing for the ever-present unknowns in our own lives and that of our communities.
As always, we will offer a combination of spiritual practices and processes from many traditions, including Dances of Universal Peace, walking and sitting meditation, chanting, breathing and body awareness, and visualisation, teaching stories and reconnecting with one another (perhaps the deepest practice of all!). All such practices are food for the soul. They nourish the soul, give it vitality, inspire it with wisdom, and charge it with the power necessary to embrace life.
