Details of this retreat

Dreams whisper divine secrets, beckoning us to listen—will you heed their call?

Without a vision, the people perish. Proverbs 29:18

In Biblical scripture, for people to receive dreams and visions is common. In fact, the absence of dreams or visions is sorely noted. Life in modernity tells a different story; dreams are often ignored or devalued and nightmares terrify, while waking visions are viewed with skepticism and sometimes psychologically pathologized.

But what about the scripture of our lives? Divinity is stirring in our depths; do we believe it? Do we perceive the call and consolation of Mystery, or are we missing the signs all around and within us in the rush of our work-a-day lives? The living figures of dreamtime can support us in bearing the griefs and stresses of the waking world, open new capacities within us, and lead us into unexpected, meaningful, and joyful experiences and adventures.

Join this weekend retreat to make space to attune to the sacred material of your life. We will tend the dreams of participants who volunteer. The days will also include morning prayer, music, poetry, relaxation, gentle movement, and optional creative expression. People from all walks of life and orientations are welcome, including those without connection to a spiritual tradition.

Transition to renewal
Spending the New Year’s Holiday at the Genesis Spiritual Life Center was the perfect way to usher in a new year. Time to rest, relax, pray, and write and to do it with those of similar wants, was absolutely wonderful. It will be hard not to do it again next year.

A Simply Centered Advent: Mandalas, Crayoning and Prayers
I found this program very special. I didn't know what to expect but found the whole hour and the crayoning in particular very quieting and peaceful. Focusing on the crayoning with the background music allowed me to focus completely on what I was doing.
The presenter had such a calming way of offering the material and added interesting pieces of art that illustrated the mandalas we were working on.
I hope you will consider bringing Sharon back next Advent

Christianity in Crisis
Excellent program. Brother Dom’s presentation was timely, clearly articulated, and inspiring. I have attended previous programs by him, and he never disappoints.
I have one suggestion for Genesis. There was some confusion about the agenda, in terms of times of the sessions as well as when the actual sessions began and ended. It would be helpful if an agenda could be sent out the day before the program begins. As commuters, it was a bit challenging to make sure we knew exactly when we needed to be there and for how long.
That said, as always, the staff was welcoming, helpful and friendly.

Toxic christianity
This workshop had outstanding researched material. The presenter was very knowlegable.

I was overwhelmed by so much input with no processing time permitted. I wished the presenter could present his points in everyday language.
