Retreating and Opportunity to Retreat with Reverend Bonnie

 

The prefix “re” means to do over.

I once gave a talk on the power of “re” as to me this linguistical delight carries within it the energy of a Divine Do-over. Re-member is to put back together. Re-joice is to enter into Joy once again. Re-generate is to enter once again into the field of generation. Re-treat then, is to treat yourself to YOU!! It is to take a break for your benefit.

I will be leading a retreat; which is VERY RARE for me to do, just outside of Tucson Arizona Friday, May 22 through Monday, May 25th. And, the space is VERY LIMITED as our house sleeps fifteen of us. This combination added to the Sacred Native land upon which we will meet makes for the perfect collision of something magical.

We have named the retreat O Great Spirit!

The extended weekend will be spent in reverence honoring our selves, our ancestors, the land, and the Great Spirit within and through all of it. Let’s start by talking about ourselves for a moment. I know each person who has signed up thus far and the quality of people are worth honoring, befriending, and sharing the experience of Great Spirit. We will create an altar to honor our ancestors, we will make art from and on the land, and we will engage in spiritual practices to honor all Spirit. And what would a retreat be without a labyrinth, big roaring evening campfire, and s’mores?

Whether you attend this retreat, which I hope you do, or another, gift yourself a retreat this year. Make the decision that retreats are no longer optional. They are part of your spiritual practice.
