You are warmly invited
to join us in retreat to deepen your inner journey and connection to yourself and others through a weaving of meditation, self-inquiry, yoga/gentle movement, songs from the heart, journaling, and storytelling. The retreat will be held in the peaceful energy of the Triple Crane Retreat Center in Chelsea, MI.
Brett Koon will guide us in meditation, as well as self-inquiry and reflection, throughout the retreat. Jennifer Lenders will offer gentle, accessible, mindful movement from a chair or mat, Holly Makimaa will guide us in loving-kindness journaling and story-telling, and
Carol Bardenstein will lead us in simple heart-centered chants.
The Retreat will be a fundraiser for the Interfaith Center for Spiritual Growth, with 100% of the profits going to Interfaith. It is an opportunity to commune with others affiliated with the Center and is very much open to the broader public. In other words, all are warmly welcome!
