Theme: Listening to the Trees.  Come, be taken in by a resilient and steadfast tree on the grounds of Dayspring. You will be invited to rest in and under their presence during the still weekend as we reflect on the ways we are gifted by trees (370 million year existence) here on Mother Earth.  Listen to what they may have to tell you.  Through readings, journaling and drawing we will soak in our divine connection to these golden beings as they let go for the coming winter.

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.

Don’t go back to sleep.

You must ask for what you really want.

Don’t go back to sleep.

The door is round and open.

Don’t go back to sleep.

-RUMI

Leader: Kenzie Raulin, local artist, designer and retreat leader.

Weekend retreats run Friday dinner through Sunday lunch. The silence begins Friday night after dinner when the leader opens the retreat and introduces the theme. The leader usually offers brief morning and evening reflections on Saturday. The silence ends after breakfast Sunday morning with a time of sharing and worship, followed by lunch and departure.

The cost for weekend retreats is $300.  A $150 deposit is required to register.
