STEP INTO THE FLOW
A series of retreats throughout 2023, focusing on the three beautiful elements of water, wind and flame
All three of three of these elements are represented in the scripture as having an intimate relationship with humanity through God’s presence. All three can be powerful, gentle, unpredictable and constant.
Come join us to step into the flow of these elements and what they have to teach us about God and our own relationship with creation and each other.
All retreats run from Thursday evening through Saturday morning.
WIND
JANUARY 19TH - 21ST, 2023
"The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit" John 3:8
There is an unpredictability and an excitement about wind even as it reminds us of the constancy of life-giving breath. What does it mean to live in the wildness of Spirit, even as we stay tethered to our own center of humility and grace?
WATER
JUNE 1ST - 3RD, 2023
"...but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life." John 4:14
Water is yielding, yet powerful. We will spend time in contemplation and conversation about the unique gifts of water, it's place in scripture and the role of fluidity and strength in our own lives and relationships.
FLAME
OCTOBER 19TH - 21ST, 2023
"...suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them." Acts 2:2-3
The life of a flame represents such a range of gifts in our world! We witness its life-giving heat, refinement, and even destruction What can this passionate element teach us about our gifts and their multiple uses in our lives?
