SUMMARY:Rekindling the Flame Retreat with Sr. Carol Quinlivan
DESCRIPTION:A retreat for the laity and religious. Please join us for this unique retreat.\nThe Celtic Christian propensity to find the Divine in all created nature speaks with uncanny relevance to many of the concerns of our present era. The ancient wisdom\, visual images\, poetry\, prayers and blessings of Celtic Christian spirituality take us beyond words to re-ignite our imagination and restore what we have neglected or forgotten. Seeing through the sentimentality of the stories and legends surrounding Patrick and Brigid of Kildare we re-discover the transformative power of becoming an Anam Cara\, Soul-Friend\, to ourselves and to those we meet on the road of life. They both epitomize the beauty of hospitality and companionship\, which is capable of fanning into flame the spark of faith in our own hearts. Exploring their witness of tireless evangelization can re-ignite our own imaginations and creativity. \nFee: $500 per person includes meals and lodging; $275 per person commuter includes meals. Pre-registration required. \nPlease call 480.948.7460 to register with the special rate for religious: $300 per person includes meals and lodging; $175 per person commuter includes meals.

SUMMARY:Dry Heat Retreat with Peter Pearson\, MDiv\, ThD
DESCRIPTION:The Way of Mindfulness: Thich Nhat Hahn and Pema Chodron\nWe are a busy people\, and we have elevated multi-tasking to a high virtue. Unfortunately\, it’s been said that the greatest obstacles to living a spiritual life are speed and noise. Most of us are guilty on both counts. Slowing down and paying attention are skills that we need to recapture if we are going to be present to the moments of our lives\, and to the voice of God whispering to us within those moments. \nDuring our time together\, we will practice silence together and individually. We will discuss some of the challenges that rise up the minute we sit down to be quiet. We will explore some of the possibilities offered to us in the silence. So\, bring your kneeling bench or your pillow or your mat. Feel free to sit in a chair if you need to. Wear comfortable clothes and relax into a safe space. Just breathe. \nFee: $250 single includes meals and lodging; $135 commuter includes meals. Pre-registration required. \nPlease email lora@thecasa.org for information on double rooms. \nCommuter\nFull price $135.00 \nSingle\nFull price $250.00 \nSign Up By Thursday\, Jun 15 at 4:00pm\nFRC.retreatportal.com
