Clergy Spiritual Renewal Retreat

Seeds of True Self: Recovering Wholeness and Integrity in Christ

Marie Joseph Spiritual Center, Biddeford, Maine

April 6 - 8, 2010

Spring is a season for planting seeds and delighting in new buds. It is also the season for attending to the great paradox of Christian Life: in the logic of Gods love, death begets life.

During this retreat, we will ponder the seeds of true self - the reality of inner truth God planted in each of us long ago - and clues we find within to help us recover the integrity and beauty of that divinely given wholeness. We will also pay attention to the disheartening experience of feeling ourselves inwardly divided and scattered in response to external demands and expectations.

Retreat Leader: Marjorie Thompson

Cost:

$150 per person - includes room and meals

$100 for commuters - includes meals

Registration Deadline: March 26, 2010

Final Payment Due: April 1, 2010
