Details of this retreat

Are you curious about what people mean when they speak of “the divine feminine,” and wonder if you have permission to speak that yourself? This integral perspective of the Christian tradition is often overlooked for more masculine images of God. However, all aspects of God are part of our tradition. Join us for a tender, safe, and empowering weekend of expanding our idea of God by liberating the parts of ourselves that intuitively know there is so much more.

Whether you have never before heard the phrase “divine feminine” or have known this spirituality for decades, there is a place for everyone on this retreat. We will give life to such words as Shekinah, Ruah and Sophia as images of the divine. We will learn a language that gives voice to the quiet inner knowing that has long fought for our attention, and explore the feminine nature of God through guided meditations, generative writing, nature encounter, and individualized embodied practices that best support your unique needs and makeup.

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.
