Details of this retreat

Come and discover the power, insight, and grace that come from writing about your own spiritual journey.

Spiritual Journaling is a practice with the unique potential to nurture and enhance our spiritual growth and helps to guide the exploration of the Divine in our lives. We begin with an invitation to ask God’s blessing on our intentions, summoning creative energies, and taking inspiration from the words of other poets and writers. Then, using fresh tools and techniques to get our creativity flowing, we write. Throughout the day, participants can choose to share their work in the supportive circle of other creators and explorers.

This workshop is open to all experience levels and abilities. Journals will be provided.

I joined a small group for a prayer shawl retreat. The rooms were clean and had very comfortable beds. The building is older and bathrooms but it is very well maintained and clean. You are given fresh towels, and there are some room with a private bathroom. My room had a sink and a recliner. There were perfectly placed lamps and a ceiling fan. The temperature was easily adjusted in room. We spent our group in the fireplace room. It is very cozy and has lots of comfortable chairs and a couch. We had breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Each meal was served in time and delicious. Most times a few option were available and a dessert. The grounds are nice and the black squirrels that run around are adorable. Overall it was a nice stay.

The experience was amazing
Very informative and relaxing and a beautiful space. Our leader was so kind and knowledgeable. The food was also really good and I met some wonderful women. It would be wonderful to have this session every season of the year. Maybe not winter..
I look forward to attending other retreats and workshops at Genesis. Many thanks for all you do.

Always leave more present, peace-filled
I attended the weekend retreat, "The Shadow and Love: Healing our relationships to self, others and God" with Brother Don Bisson and it was just what was needed prior to the midterm election. Br. Don delivered his characteristic insightful, heartfelt content, sprinkled with crackling wit and loving personal examples, which hit all the right spots. The great food, comfortable & Immaculate surroundings within a beautiful natural setting offered the perfect compliment. I like to do 2-3 annual retreats or other programs at Genesis to put back what my experience of 'the world' seems to take out. Thank you Genesis!
