Aside from the content of one’s retreat, enjoying the beauty of the grounds and property is a blessing. Thank you for offering such a respite!

About this Retreat
Your Guides
Angelica Lopez is a Puerto Rican trauma-informed yoga facilitator from Holyoke, MA, whose early experience with yoga during an abusive upbringing became a source of agency and empowerment. After two decades of practice, she deepened her studies, completing training with organizations like The Veterans Yoga Project, Yoga4Cancer, and The Prison Yoga Project. Angelica partners with organizations such as Dress for Success, the Western Mass Wellness and Recovery Center, and The Brick House to bring healing-centered yoga to communities that might not otherwise have access to it. In 2021, she created the Thrive series, an 8-week program supporting survivors of sexual trauma by uplifting the strengths and wisdom they already possess. Her work continues to evolve, offering accessible and inclusive spaces for healing.

Radiance of God
I really enjoyed Diarmuid O’Muchu’s
presentation based on his book of the same title. Diarmud is a contemporary oriented theologian. I’ve made several retreats and have learned from each exchange. I highly recommend his retreats and books. Believe me, you won’t be disappointed.

Divine Radiance
As usual, Diarmuid O'Murchu broadened my vision of the importance of our place on this planet and the presence of the Spirit in all that is. My awareness of this is
more evident to me as I return to the routine of daily living. Of course he also talked about many topics of interest to me, including Patriarchy, Eucharist, Energy fields, God's love of us, etc. It was a most enriching experience. Thank you.

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.
