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.

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.

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.
