Details of this retreat

Envision a space where science and spiritual insight meet, transforming your body into a channel for sacred knowledge.  Join us for a transformative journey of self-discovery with our BioSpiritual Focusing 10-week book study and practicum. Delve into the profound insights of Fr. Peter A. Campbell and Fr. Edwin M. McMahon's groundbreaking work, Rediscovering the Lost Body-Connection Within Christian Spirituality. This immersive experience promises to unlock the sacred story hidden within your own body, revealing the subtle movements of grace that shape your life.

“May their inward eyes be illumined, so that they may know the hope to which they are called.”  (Ephesians 1:18-19)

Each evening, we will highlight key topics of specific chapters and include a group discussion on these topics and chapters. We will also offer actual focusing sessions led by experienced companions. Over the course of this study, you will become more aware of the sacred story you carry in your own body and the movement of grace in your life.

Prerequisite: Basic familiarity with BioSpiritual Focusing is necessary and prior participation in a BioSpiritual Focusing: Day of Presence or multi-day Retreat is recommended.

You will also need to have a copy of Rediscovering the Lost Body-Connection Within Christian Spirituality.

This program will meet weekly via Zoom from 6:30 pm-8:30 pm beginning on Wednesday, February 19, 2025 and concluding on Wednesday, April 23, 2024. The sessions will be recorded and distributed after each meeting.

This program will be facilitated by Donna O’Connor and Mike Smoolca.

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.
