Details of this retreat

Imagine: the scent of pine, the feel of earth beneath your feet, and a profound sense of calm washing over you. Discover how a mindful outdoor experience can transform your stress levels and deepen your connection to the earth and all things spiritual.Join us at Genesis Spiritual Center for three Monday evening spiritual experiences of nature on 6/16, 7/14 and 8/11.

A mindful outdoor experience offers an opportunity to manage stress and create a reciprocal relationship with the earth. Using present-moment awareness, nature-based meditation, natural movement, and lessons from nature, participants will reawaken their senses to the healing properties of Mother Earth. Through mindful engagement with the more than human world, participants will be more likely to be better stewards of the land and hold space for one another in the community.

Colleen Mollica, a graduate of the Kripalu School of Outdoor Leadership, will share how nature heals, restores, and connects all living things.

Suggested donation of $5.00 per session.

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.
