Details of this retreat

As we stand on the threshold of 2026, we have an opportunity to pause and reflect on our experience of 2025. You are warmly invited to join a group of people like you who are also committed to living in the driver’s seat of their life. What were the lessons in 2025, the milestones achieved, and the accomplishments we could acknowledge? Most of us tend to move from one year to the next with little thought. We often carry bits and pieces of the previous year into the new year which is burdened before it begins. While looking at the past year of your life can seem unappealing at first, doing so enables you to own your achievements and your blessings, given and received. You also acknowledge what did not go well and then you can leave behind everything, but the lessons learned. A powerful forgiveness exercise will allow you to embrace 2026 with curiosity and excitement. We will have conversation, quiet time, and collage to say farewell to 2025 and hello to 2026.

Embracing the Journey: A Women's Retreat on the Spiritual & Psychological Dimensions of Aging
I thoroughly enjoyed and retreat itself. The Presenter, Betty Hill Crowson, was well prepared and knowledgeable about the topic. She presented the topic clearly and provided opportunities for attendees to participate in exercises in order to experience aspects of the subject matter directly. Ms. Crowson was accessible and readily answered any questions.

Room accommodations were clean and comfortable and the food was excellent. All
was well done.

BioSpiritual Focusing: Day of Presence
Lovely group. The facilitators were transitioning, so it was a little disorganized, but the subject matter was delivered thoughtfully and clearly.

Blessing of the animals
A beautiful ceremony and blessing for our pets on the feast of Saint Francis. Genesis Spiritual Center has a peaceful and inviting space to spend time appreciating nature and the many gifts God’s creation gives us each day. I appreciated the time and blessing given to my pet during this event.

Aside from the content of one’s retreat, enjoying the beauty of the grounds and property is a blessing. Thank you for offering such a respite!
