Annual Winter Retreat at Zion National Park
On the first weekend
in December, amidst the breathtaking beauty
and awesome power of Zion National Park's
sacred rocks in Southern Utah, I lead
an annual spiritual retreat.
This
three-and-a-half day event is designed
to allow all the participants sacred time
with themselves, with nature, and with
their all-inspiring Spirit. Here, away
from the demands of "regular life,"
I lead each person to a gentle discovery
of Life's bigger truths and his/her soul's
unique loving rhythm.
I help participants listen to Life - in
the form of the Divine's wisdom, their
soul's truth, and Nature's inspiration
- as they are led into fuller awareness
of and involvement in the beauty of their
lives.

Each
day is structured so that afternoons offer
ample free time for communing with nature,
walking or hiking the area’s trails,
having quiet personal time, or interacting
with other participants. Mornings and
evenings are dedicated to our sacred spiritual
time together as a group.
90 to 100 people have participated in each Zion retreat, where the powerful energy of the
towering rock sculptures infused itself
into all of us. There were deep and loving
experiences of unity - internally, with
other retreat participants, with Mother
Earth, and with God. There was much laughter,
sharing, silence, and awakening to the
truth of individual beauty and specialness.
