Daily retreat time is a way to toss our consciousness up, to attain a higher perspective. It helps us develop our equanimity and not be swept away by our reactions, our feelings, or the circumstances of our stressful days. It helps us to stay centered to matter what is going on.
- Retreat to learn how to be in the world in a different way.
- Retreat to remember how to experience the world of the spirit during your daily life.
- Retreat to reconnect with the divine that permeates all of existence.
“There is only one journey. Going inside yourself.” – Rainer Maria Rilke
Our journey is not linear; we curve and backtrack, and sometimes get lost. However, I can assure you that no matter where you are on your personal path, these themes will always be relevant.
- Gratitude can lead into joy and love, just as love can lead into gratitude or joy.
- Relaxation is as much a part of peace as peace plays a role in relaxation.
- Faith and healing are intertwined.
There are various retreats for expressing faith, forgiveness, gratitude, healing, intuition, joy, love, patience, peace, relaxation, self-acceptance, and self-care.
A retreat can be anything that allows us to intentionally enter another world where time slows to nonexistence, silence prevails, and a certain tranquility permeates the atmosphere.
- Here, in this sacred space, we can replenish our souls, restoring our connection to the eternal.

By pausing to connect with our inner life, even for a moment, we shift our perspective to remember the eternal and that whatever we are doing in the outer world is transient.
- One such exercise involves the attempt to be consciously aware of ourselves throughout the day.
- Most of us can’t sustain this level of attention for even a few minutes.
Mindfulness is the process of being aware of your experience, including your breathing, right here, right now.
- As your thoughts move through your mind, you simply notice them without clinging, analyzing, or judging.
- Mindfulness is pure observation.
