Sacred Earth Sacred Soul

May 17-19, 2024

REGISTRATION CLOSES APRIL 1

 

In 2016 John Philip Newell began the Earth & Soul initiative, including a series of annual retreats (now called Sacred Earth Sacred Soul – Celtic Wisdom) to help reawaken awareness of the sacred in all things through the recovery of Celtic wisdom for today and to help translate this awareness into compassionate action in our lives and world.

This is a three-day teaching and spiritual practice event. Each day begins and ends with meditative prayer and chant. John Philip teaches from the wisdom of Celtic prophets over the centuries, applying this ancient wisdom to the most critical challenges of today. Cami Twilling invites us into spiritual practice bringing our inner attention to the presence of the sacred within us and within all things. 

Contemplative Retreat

July 1-6, 2024

REGISTRATION CLOSES JUNE 17

Since 1983, we have been enjoying the basics of a monastic life, combining silence with ways of deep learning. This retreat is a time to practice the stillness that comes from stilling the mind. Spend a couple of days or a full week in the beautiful ponderosa sanctuary of La Foret, where most urban voices are muffled, and the pace of life is slow enough to meet your self again.

Tiered pricing from $42 for one day to $987 for a full week at the highest rate with a private room.
