This retreat integrates contemplative neuroscience, human psychology, and the ancient wisdom of the Christian tradition to explore the daily cultivation of “loving Presence”.
The retreat will move beyond the perceived divide between science and spirituality by presenting scientifically informed models of the whole human being encompassing the traditional domains of body, soul and Spirit.
Through a mix of conceptual presentations and experiential practices - including contemplative sessions, small group work, and personal reflection - retreat participants will discover how age-old meditative traditions and modern insights converge to bring life-giving energy and wisdom to their daily lives.
Cost: $450.
