A LENTEN RETREAT
Friday, March 17 - 1 pm to 8 pm
Saturday, March 18 - 9 am to 4 pm
Through the practices of examination, confession & celebration, we seek to move beyond shame, blame and condemnation and revive the beauty and goodness of who God made us to be. "Penance [self-knowledge, confession, and celebration] is a form of spiritual medicine which helps us to bring a soul back into harmony." (from Celtic Christianity).
During this retreat, you will:
❖ Identify your early church experience of confession-for good or bad-and how it shaped your image of God and self.
❖ Explore the spiritual and psychological value of coming to your senses, turning Homeward, assured of celebration (Luke 15:11-32).
❖ Receive a clear perspective on the soul, its role, and how to bring a weary, thirsty soul back into harmony (Willard, Wesley, & Maya Angelou).
❖ Learn ways to recognize God’s voice (Genesis 4: 1-7).
❖ Find healing through greater self-knowledge and opening ourselves to being fully known by God (Ignatius, Wilson & others).
