The Sanctuary of New Beginnings: A New Year’s Retreat

As 2017 draws to a close and Winter begins to deepen, you are invited to journey with us at a most magical time of year, a time when we prepare to enter the sanctuary of new beginnings. This annual New Year’s Eve retreat creates a wonderful opportunity to silence the pervasive noise that ever surrounds us and to step away into a spiritual landscape of renewal and nourishment. This program invites you to make time to examine the meaning of your experiences while cherishing the holiness of transitions. It will also include ample time for meditation, prayer and personal exploration. A journal is a great companion for the day. Guided by Gordon Creamer.
