Details of this retreat

Are you curious about what people mean when they speak of “the divine feminine,” and wonder if you have permission to speak that yourself? This integral perspective of the Christian tradition is often overlooked for more masculine images of God. However, all aspects of God are part of our tradition. Join us for a tender, safe, and empowering weekend of expanding our idea of God by liberating the parts of ourselves that intuitively know there is so much more.

Whether you have never before heard the phrase “divine feminine” or have known this spirituality for decades, there is a place for everyone on this retreat. We will give life to such words as Shekinah, Ruah and Sophia as images of the divine. We will learn a language that gives voice to the quiet inner knowing that has long fought for our attention, and explore the feminine nature of God through guided meditations, generative writing, nature encounter, and individualized embodied practices that best support your unique needs and makeup.

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.
