Living Well Retreats: Mind

    Renewing your Mind

    Step away from your regular daily pattern to re-discover the abundant mercy of God in your world. We will take a journey into Romans 12:1-2, to "renew our minds in mercy" in the morning. In the afternoon, we will practice several time-tested disciplines for re-framing our place in God's story.

    Although this brilliant man and mind speaks from outside our faith tradition, his gentle, concise, and brilliant guidance through this vast and astounding multiverse gives us more than insight and perspective.

Somehow the world gets “lighter” when we dig deep into its beautiful design, its jaw-dropping complexity, and remember our own sacred part in it all.
