Women's Winter Contemplative Retreat with Carolyn Foster
February 1-3, 2008
La Casa de Maria, Montecito, California
Let yourself
be silently drawn
by the
stronger pull
of what
you really
love.
Jellaluddin Rumi,
translated by Coleman Barks
Many people and activities pull at us every day. Yet underneath, when we quiet down enough to sense it, a strong pull toward something we most love calls us forward. On retreat we are offered the opportunity to discover more about “what we really love.” Our bodies relax and heal in a place of beauty and refuge. Our minds are relieved by simplicity of routine – no driving, no cooking, no phones or e-mail. Our deeper selves awake through the routine of retreat days and nights: reflection, writing, thoughtful interchange, and shared silence. We come away from even a weekend away knowing more about the direction our lives are to take, strengthened for the road ahead.
Register by calling La Casa de Maria in Montecito, near Santa Barbara, at (805) 969-5031. You can also register through their website, www.lacasademaria.org. This is a truly exquisite place of natural beauty – come and let yourself be nurtured and renewed!
