Creating Sacred Space

May 17 – 19, 2024

2024 is already feeling like it’s going to be a year of stepping out of our comfort zones and creating a new and better “normal” for ourselves. To make the most of this heightened energy, we’re going to explore the idea of creating sacred space in our lives.

So, what does this look like? It could include clearing clutter from our lives. It could mean creating opportunities to fill our spaces with meaningful experiences. It could mean making space for our most important priorities. It could lead us to acknowledge the presence of sacred space in our inner landscape, as well as outside in our homes and in our environment.

Summer Break Camp for Adults & Singing in the Pines

 August 8 – 12, 2024

Embark on a transformative five day/four-night retreat amidst the tranquil embrace of nature, led by acclaimed author Peter Bolland, and facilitated by Rev. Dr. Tom Owen-Towle, Malcolm Hawkes, and Chris Epting.

With this year’s theme, Walking the Seven Stone Path, we will delve into Peter Bolland’s illuminating new book, The Seven Stone Path: An Everyday Journey to Wisdom. The book distills the universal insights of the world’s wisdom traditions into seven core ideas:  acceptance, surrender, engagement, allowance, enjoyment, love, and integration – guiding us towards deeper self-awareness and understanding. Over the week of workshops and discussions, deep under the spell of the serenity of Camp de Benneville Pines, we’ll feel our innate wisdom rising through the cracks of our own lives.
