ALONE WITH THE ONE, TOGETHER: AN INTERSPIRITUAL CONTEMPLATIVE RETREAT with Janet F. Quinn, PhD, RN, FAAN
In every spiritual tradition, we are told that there is One, called by many names yet ultimately unnamable, and that we are always in deep, loving union with It in the secret cave of the heart. During this mostly silent retreat we will gather in sacred community for spiritual practices from several contemplative/mystical traditions, coming home to the heart. There will be unstructured time to simply be, alone with the One, with opportunity for a brief individual session for spiritual guidance with Janet. http://www.haelanworks.com/Alone_with_the_One_Retreat.htm
