SUMMARY:Your Spiritual Legacy: Reflections into the Heart of Who You Are
DESCRIPTION:Mary Dunn and Alanna Mack \nWithin each of us is a divine treasure\, and if we hope to discover it\, we need to go deep into the heart of who we are. Meister Eckhart\nDeep in your soul is a story that wants to be told. In our weekend of guided reflections\, we will help you open your heart to that story and discover the treasure that lies within. Following the wisdom teachings of Meister Eckhart\, Thomas Keating\, Thomas Merton\, Richard Rohr\, Ram Dass\, and others\, we will lead you on a journey of self-discovery\, welcoming you into the light to see and appreciate how you came to be the person you are and the gifts that are your true legacy. \nIn our sessions together you will have the opportunity to: \n?? Explore the life lessons that have made you stronger\, wiser\, and truer. \n?? Discover the value you have created in your life that will be meaningful to others. \n?? Connect with like-hearted others in a way that is affirming\, encouraging\, and healing. We’ll practice the sacred art of quiet listening\, allowing one another to bring forth what is true and alive in them. \n?? Engage in gentle\, meditative movement that will inspire your imagination. There will also be time for quiet walks to rest in simple awareness. \n?? Gain a deeper understanding of what matters most in your life\, and how you want to be remembered. \n?? Leave with essential tools for making decisions and having conversations with loved ones about your legacy and end of life wishes. \nWhether you’ve experienced a Legacy Workshop or Retreat before\, or this will be your first time\, we warmly welcome you to join us for a full weekend of reflection and inspiration like no other! \nFor more information about the retreat\, contact: Mary@legacystory.org \nWHAT PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING: \n“Mary has put together a beautiful program on how to find clarity and meaning in your life and write your legacy story for loved ones.” \n“Mary welcomed us all warmly and held space for all of us to be heard.” \n“Each topic we were given for reflection was amazingly intentional\, and deeply meaningful.” \n“The reflections\, words of wisdom\, teachings\, and experiences shared by others have encouraged me to go brazenly into the next decade of my life.” \n“Mary’s loving\, sensitive communication style made the meditations and reflections deeply moving. It was just a beautiful experience.” \n“At the retreat\, we felt so free to be our ‘whole selves’\, celebrating our blessings and sharing our challenges.
