Discover Your Spiritual Autobiography
An Interfaith Retreat for People of all spiritual traditions
September 8 - 12, 2025
Leadville, CO
Overview
What is your spiritual story? How has your understanding of the Holy unfolded and your life changed? In this retreat, we will explore our spiritual autobiographies. Using writing prompts and contemplative techniques, we will discover our stories, find the freedom to tell them, and delve more deeply into our relationship with the divine now.
This retreat is designed for people of all spiritual traditions and will be supportive of diverse expressions of spiritual and religious understanding.
We’ll begin with a dinner on Monday night. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings, we’ll write and contemplate together. After a break in the afternoon, we’ll gather again to learn from each other’s experiences. Friday morning we will conclude our retreat time with writing and reflection on how to carry forward what we’ve begun. We’ll end by 11AM on Friday morning.
Hear from previous participants:
"I’m just now sitting down to thank you two for the gift of Discover Your Spiritual Autobiography. It was one of the most significant experiences I’ve had in my long life. I’m reconciled with my mother, something I have wanted for so very long."
​
"The way you arranged the week, inviting us to go deeper and deeper, providing an environment of safety, also encouragement. Teaching us how to truly listen “In the light of God’s love” rather than listen critically. And freeing us from the internal critic as we wrote spontaneously."
​
"This was a beautiful and perfect unfolding. Thank for the facilitation! It was a thoughtful and thought-provoking and powerful. I am curious and excited to discover new golden shrugs and to gently tug on the ones discovered this week."
