Details of this retreat

What if the very practices you’ve dismissed as too intense or outdated could actually unlock the peace you’ve been searching for—not just for yourself, but for a world in desperate need of healing?  Pulling on themes from Eric's upcoming book, "Finding Peace Here and Now: How Ignatian Spirituality Leads Us to Healing and Wholeness," this virtual evening program will offer participants key practices from the Ignatian tradition to cultivate a disposition of peace in their personal and interpersonal lives. We will look to the Spiritual Exercises—often dismissed as too violent in imagery to be useful for peace—to discover new ways of manifesting peace in our world. The program will include a reflection, time for small group discussion and a large group report out, plus a Q&A. Through these practices, we will uncover how the Ignatian tradition not only challenges us to confront the turbulence within but also equips us to become catalysts of peace in a world yearning for healing.

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.

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.
