Embodying Sacred Presence: A Day of Yoga and Contemplation

I am offering a day of gentle yoga, contemplative prayer, reflection, silence, and connection with creation. 

This retreat is Christ-centered and rooted in the Catholic contemplative tradition. Gentle movement, mindful breathing, silence, and prayer are offered as ways of becoming more attentive to the presence of God.

Inspired by the wisdom of Saint Francis, we will explore embodied prayer, what it means to lead with our heart, and practice the sacredness of the present moment. Through movement, meditation, journaling, and time in nature we will breathe together to create a space to listen deeply to the invitations of our lives.

• Our faith is deeply Incarnational. Because "the Word became flesh" (John 1:14), we honor the body as a sacred gift through which we can encounter God. 

• St. Teresa of Avila taught the way of interior prayer, St. Ignatius of Loyola encouraged awareness/examen of the body, and the use of our imagination.  

• St. Irenaeus reminded us, "the glory of God is the human person fully alive." And my favorite, "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord" Ps 150:6

The purpose of this retreat is not to introduce another spirituality, but to deepen an ancient Christian practice of loving God with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength through prayer, reflection, and reverence for the whole person. 

No yoga experience is necessary. All abilities are welcome! 

Dress comfortably, bring a mat, and a journal.

"God is not waiting for us somewhere else. God is here, in this breath, in this body, in this moment, in this patch of earth"
