Upcoming Celtic Soul Retreat
March 20-22, 2020
Our Spring Retreat is drawing near. Celtic Soul is a weekend of exploring and experiencing central themes of Celtic Christian spirituality. This ancient and well-rooted “way” of spiritual belief, practice, and perspective provides a needed alternative to some of the more consumer driven and ego-centric ways of modern Christian American spirituality. This soul-focused and relationally-oriented way is a refreshing opportunity amidst a world that is so very anxious, divisive, and destructive. You are quite welcome to join us for three days to learn of these ancient ways brought into contemporary setting and to experience some of these old and new practices.
I have been asked several times recently if we are still planning on holding the retreat amidst the COVID-19 crisis. We take the current situation seriously and want to encourage care and love for those who have contracted the virus, their friends and family, and those who are exceptionally anxious about contracting the illness. It is also important to note that the modern media driven and consumerist economy with its need to drive us all to websites and other media sources has learned over several years how to keep us focused on crisis, chaos, and negative and divisive perspectives of all sorts. While taking wise and healthy precautions, it is also important to continue noticing our own anxiety and grounding ourselves in the presence and care of Spirit. This is a good time to gather as a small retreat and consider a spiritual path of centering faith, hope that is rooted in the dignity of each person and the Earth, and the revelation of God’s beauty everywhere and in all things. We are going forward with the retreat and will practice deliberate safety with food and contact. I hope you will consider joining us.
May the Spirit of Peace hold you strongly this day.
