Details of this retreat
Join Dr. Robinson for a day to reflect on Beyond Factory Farming from conception to publication, answer questions, and share his own reflections and methods for transforming the routine of eating into a ritual of gratitude and reciprocity.
This time together, sharing a meal, will celebrate new understanding and commitments to a responsible approach to food and how we eat. For those who have completed the (5)-Part Book Study, this Farm-to-Table style luncheon in the Carriage House will showcase favorite recipes that were shared throughout the weeks. Our talented Cook, Jen, will prepare a selection of dishes from the group's collection, highlighting the ethical and local sources of each ingredient.

Biospiritual Focusing retreat at Genesis
I recently attended a five day Biospiritual Focusing retreat at Genesis. The program was excellent. The coordinators experience and wisdom were extremely helpful. I also appreciated their caring and responsiveness to anything I needed.
The staff at the retreat house created a caring, welcoming environment in every way. The food was excellent, and much appreciated. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. It was a very positive experience, and am looking forward to my next retreat there.

BioSpiritual Focusing Retreat 8/26
I received so many gifts of new knowledge and experiences from all 4 instructors and many participants. As always I enjoyed all of the outdoor spaces, especially the labyrinth. I truly appreciate the space that was freely available in the chapel, carriage house and friendship hall for myself and others to offer optional groups.
