Details of this retreat
What if rediscovering your own sacredness could transform not only your life, but also the way you see the entire living Earth?
Join Cami Twilling, Director of Earth & Soul, for a virtual evening retreat as we draw from the wisdom of John Philip Newell’s writings on Pelagius from Sacred Earth Sacred Soul. We will focus on the ways in which we are invited to live from the depths of our soul so that we may see and know our own sacredness as well as the sacredness of Earth and all her beings. We will share in a time of prayer, spiritual practice and reflection in community. You are encouraged to read chapter one of Sacred Earth Sacred Soul before the retreat time.

Unleashing your inner guide
This was one of the (if not THE) MOST powerful retreat/training experiences I've ever experienced. Betty creates a safe and nurturing community, right from the opening night. By limiting the number of participants, we were able to get to know one another and become friends and supportive community to one another in a way that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Genesis, for hosting this transformative program.

Life-changing experience
Betty Hill Crowson created more than a training. Not only did I learned a lot about how to develop workshops and retreats, but I bonded with and was deeply inspired by an amazing group of women. I left with much more clarity, confidence, and support to continue trusting God to where I’m being called. Betty’s leadership through modeling humility, providing constructive feedback, and sharing her many years of expertise is a torch I will carry forward.

A Spiritual Experience Of Nature
Colleen was an excellent presenter and gently led us in an enriching experience of being in communion with the natural world. This was my third such experience with Colleen Mollica and I would highly recommend this program. Genesis has abundant and perfect spaces for exploration of the natural world.

Breathng New Life Into Prayer
This retreat was very inspirational. It expanded the concept of prayer and how so much of what we do as we carry on our lives is prayer. The day was very nicely divided between lecture, time for reflection, time spent outside with nature, readings and music.
I liked the presenter's use of a kaleidoscope as a metaphor for transforming the broken parts of our lives. The handouts (not too many) were all so relevant and interesting. The passing on healing ritual at the end was such a tangible way to express the action.
The presenter paced things very well, was very engaged with the group and a good listener.
The Genesis site is also so peaceful and welcoming.
