About this Retreat
Your Guides
The Genesis BioSpiritual Focusing Team offers a gentle, grounded pathway into embodied spirituality through the practice of felt-sensing. Rooted in the Catholic contemplative tradition and informed by the pioneering work of Campbell and McMahon, the team companions individuals and groups in listening to the body’s wisdom as a doorway to grace, healing, and inner freedom. Through retreats, circles, and ongoing formation, they create safe, welcoming spaces where participants learn to be present to their lived experience with compassion, deepen their relationship with God, and discover a more integrated, life-giving way of being in the world.
Details of this retreat
Unlock the hidden wisdom of your body and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery with BioSpiritual Focusing. This silent guided retreat offers a unique opportunity to delve deep into your inner world, connecting with the sacred story woven into the very fabric of your being.
Through a powerful blend of group learning, one-on-one sessions, and contemplative silence, you'll learn to tap into the wellspring of grace that flows within you. Developed by Frs. Pete Campbell and Ed McMahon, based on Eugene Gendlin's groundbreaking work, this retreat promises to be a life-changing experience that will awaken your senses, deepen your spiritual connection, and reveal the profound mysteries carried within your own body.
In this silent guided retreat, participants will attend morning group sessions of learning and discussion, and each afternoon will meet one-on-one with a Focusing Companion. There will be two optional evening discussions, providing observations and opportunities for questions regarding the process of BioSpiritual Focusing. Silence during the rest of the day is suggested. As you participate in this life-giving and life-changing experience over the course of the week, you will become more and more aware of the sacred story you carry in your own body and the movement of grace in your life.

Biospiritual Focusing retreat at Genesis
I recently attended a five day Biospiritual Focusing retreat at Genesis. The program was excellent. The coordinators experience and wisdom were extremely helpful. I also appreciated their caring and responsiveness to anything I needed.
The staff at the retreat house created a caring, welcoming environment in every way. The food was excellent, and much appreciated. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. It was a very positive experience, and am looking forward to my next retreat there.

BioSpiritual Focusing Retreat 8/26
I received so many gifts of new knowledge and experiences from all 4 instructors and many participants. As always I enjoyed all of the outdoor spaces, especially the labyrinth. I truly appreciate the space that was freely available in the chapel, carriage house and friendship hall for myself and others to offer optional groups.
