Writing Your Way Home
Journaling as a Spiritual PracticeAugust 18 – 21
Marcia Wakeland and Helen Cepero
A retreat that will help you:
- find your own voice
- write your way toward your true self and the Holy
- explore at the edges of your life's landscape
- listen truthfully
- be a good listener to your own soul
The practice of putting words and images in a personal journal frees a person to create, explore and purge from the inner landscape that illuminates the True Self.
We invite you to enjoy discovering this spiritual practice for the first time, or all over again, in a safe and nurturing environment.
