Details of this retreat

Imagine a world where everyone feels deeply known, unconditionally accepted, and powerfully connected—where love becomes the lens through which we see each other, healing divides and transforming lives. Cherished Belonging by Gregory Boyle invites us on such a compassionate journey, guiding us to rediscover our shared humanity in times of division and pain. Over five weeks, this virtual study group will explore the heart of Boyle’s message: that we are all inherently good, we belong to each other, and that kindness in action can radically transform communities. Through stories, music,  reflection, and meaningful dialogue, participants will be inspired to live out belonging and love as a radical defiance against the forces that separate us.
Session 1: We Are Loved (Introduction & Chapter 1)
Session 2: Unshakable Goodness (Chapters 2 & 3)
Session 3: We Belong to Each Other (Chapters 4 & 5)
Session 4: Called to Love (Chapters 6 & 7)
Session 5: Only Us (Chapters 8 & 9)
This study group is designed to engage participants actively through storytelling, discussion, and personal reflection to foster a deeper understanding of love’s power to heal and unite.

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.
