Details of this retreat

Imagine a world where everyone feels deeply known, unconditionally accepted, and powerfully connected—where love becomes the lens through which we see each other, healing divides and transforming lives. Cherished Belonging by Gregory Boyle invites us on such a compassionate journey, guiding us to rediscover our shared humanity in times of division and pain. Over five weeks, this virtual study group will explore the heart of Boyle’s message: that we are all inherently good, we belong to each other, and that kindness in action can radically transform communities. Through stories, music,  reflection, and meaningful dialogue, participants will be inspired to live out belonging and love as a radical defiance against the forces that separate us.
Session 1: We Are Loved (Introduction & Chapter 1)
Session 2: Unshakable Goodness (Chapters 2 & 3)
Session 3: We Belong to Each Other (Chapters 4 & 5)
Session 4: Called to Love (Chapters 6 & 7)
Session 5: Only Us (Chapters 8 & 9)
This study group is designed to engage participants actively through storytelling, discussion, and personal reflection to foster a deeper understanding of love’s power to heal and unite.

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.

BioSpiritual Focusing: Day of Presence
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.
