SPIRITUAL RETREATS

“Your healing is not just for you. It is for all of us.
Your capacity to embody unconditional love
will be instrumental in enabling human consciousness
on our planet to make the quantum shift
from fear to love.”   Paul Ferrini

Theme of our Retreat: You are the Light of the World
From Empowerment to Service

 Paul Ferrini describes this theme in his Healing Your Life Roadmap:
“Each one of us is a shining being with great love to give and a great purpose to serve. The True Self knows how to give and receive that love and fulfill that purpose. That is why her birth into the world is of paramount importance. It does not matter if you are inspired by Moses, or Christ, or Krishna, or Buddha or Lao Tzu. All of the great wisdom traditions talk about the birth of the True Self.
      What is important is that you realize that the True Self is not about somebody else. It is about you. You are the bringer of love. You are the anointed one. You are the one who rises up as the light in the darkness. You are the voice in the wilderness. Lest you come into the fullness of your power and purpose, redemption does not come to the world.
Please do not think that you come here without gifts to give or the power to give them. Like all human beings, you are here to be an instrument of love and forgiveness. If you need another purpose than this then you do not understand the great journey you have taken. You don’t understand why you have suffered and learned from your mistakes, why you have fallen down and risen up. You don’t understand that you are here not just to awaken and heal, but also to empower and to serve.
     The earth grows dim without the light of the sun upon it. The Spirit is hidden away and forgotten without the presence of the light-bearers. They have come to light the way for God’s people. But they could not play this role had they not discovered the light within themselves.
     Once you discover the light within, you carry it forth into the world. That is why you are here.”

Paul Ferrini Discusses the Retreat Experience

Our intuition is awakened. We no longer need to try to figure things out in advance. We can let life unfold naturally.  We learn to move with the current instead of against it. Things happen when they are ready to happen and we are content to let them evolve without pressure on ourselves or others.   

We become more patient, more attentive to the gifts each moment spontaneously brings.  We dance, we explore, we play.  We enjoy the process and stop obsessing on the goal.   We learn to let go of selfish desires and to look for outcomes that honor everyone. We forgive and allow ourselves to be forgiven.
     We learn to live in harmony with all beings.  We connect with animals, planets, rivers, mountains, with the incredible beauty and majesty of the natural world.  We become good stewards of the earth and compassionate caretakers of the life-forms that live upon it.
     No we are not perfect and will never be.   But we learn from our mistakes and hold our imperfection and that of others with great gentleness and compassion. We walk with an open heart and an open mind.
