TIME: July 7-12, 2002
DESCRIPTION: Do you wish you were
more creative? Do you sense you are more
creative but unable to tap that creativity?
All of us are far richer than we imagine. Our
inner resources, often unexplored and even
unknown or unacknowledged are treasures
of our life experience. Come away and rest
awhile. You are invited to leave the many
things that clamor for your attention and
spend a quiet, reflective prayer-filled week.
We will consider such topics as the need for
solitude and inner silence as we explore
ways and means of accessing and releasing
our creativity with a focus on enhancing our
relationship with God, with ourselves and
others. This retreat will include a talk each
morning as well as individual spiritual direction
each day. Registration is limited to five
retreatants. Facilitator: Sandra DeRome,
