Embracing the Journey: A Women's Retreat on the Spiritual and Psychological Dimensions of Aging

Embark on a transformative three-day retreat that invites you to embrace the profound journey of aging with grace and wisdom.

Join other women as we journey into a deeper identity of and compassion for ourselves as we embrace the realities of aging. This retreat will outline a process that guides and supports us on this inner and outer journey. We will learn how to name our common saboteurs and shadow aspects which judge and/or resist growing older; our inner ageist, our “doer,” she who struggles with letting go. We will understand the importance of liminal time/space and be introduced to new ways of implementing forgiveness for self and others. We will learn to identify and move through the “tasks” of becoming an elder and discover, uncover, and recover our spiritual essence. In short, we will make the journey from Role to Soul. Not to be missed.

By His Cross and Resurrection
I really needed the quiet and silence during these Holy Days to enter more deeply into my relationship with my God. I so appreciated Joe’s poems, short talks, and especially the Ecological Stations of the Cross. Other times are for participant sharing, but not so much during this Holy time.
Grateful for everything, including Jen’s delicious meals! 👍😋

6 day silent guided retreat April
I had a very much needed quiet time. Genesis is always the place. My "guru" was exceptional. After just one session, I felt like we've known each other for years. The simplicity of the scheduled sessions with her were so beneficial. Along with the food and the accomodations, I left truly invigorated.
As an AA, I was also able to attend mtg while there ...downstairs!
I'm referring my friends to Genesis.

Verses of the Soul: A Virtual Poetry Journey
This was a new experience for me. I signed up for this program because I love and also write poetry. The selections that JoAnn chose were varied and thought-provoking. Although we were a small group, the sharing was very meaningful. Hopefully this kind of program will be offered again.

Poetry
I loved the hour midday to refresh and get quiet with several beautifully selected poems. My schedule prevented me from attending all three sessions, and as can happen in small groups, one or two participants shared at length, but the leader offered rich, varied creative work for us to contemplate.

Lenten Supper Series
The Lenten Supper series is a meaningful and affordable way to unplug from the busyness and stressors of life for a few hours of intentional time to recenter and refresh during the season of Lent.
