PROGRAM

 

Inspired writing is a process of dialogue with the soul, our essence. We let it speak to us. We ask the question, and the soul responds. We uncover the unspoken and unconscious. We may write, share, and publish, or we may write and read, gleaning the things we need to release from our body and subconscious.

For those coming from out of town, there will be additional activities on Friday evening March 14th.​

Saturday March 15th 2025

​

9:00 to 9:30          Gathering and Welcome: Setting your intention for the retreat

                  

9:30  - 10:00         Contemplation: Activating Inner Wisdom
During the opening contemplation, we are uncovering how to invite the spiritual presence of Silence into our lives and reorient them to serve the Creative Source, the Universe. Beth Linguri will lead us into the stillness, beyond the din of everyday life, to release and recover our souls.

 

10:00 - 11:00        Silent Walk: Way of St. James

Through the activity of a quiet walk, we move the busy, active-thinking mind to stillness to begin to hear the inner voice. We are on a pilgrimage, perceiving the silence in its holy echoing and resonance. It's calling forth a knowing that is from the soul.

 

11:00 -  11:30        Writing Time & Coffee Break

 

11:30 -  12:30        Sacred Circles Sharing Your Story

When we are listened to, we become unfolded and expanded. Ideas begin to grow within us and come to life. Story is the nearest way to understand our lives and find our way forward. What has been revealed about your story that you have yet to remember? What do you need to know now?

10:00 - 11:00         Inspirational Workshop
Where does writing come from? It comes from the same place as music composition does, from the same source of profound knowledge and inspiration as any form of art. You do not need to be a writer to write, but you can use writing to bring in critical information, even knowledge, from a higher place. Daniela Norris, a published author and hypnotherapist, will share some inspired writing tools.
