Overview

What is your spiritual story? How has your understanding of God/the Divine/the Holy and yourself changed as your life has unfolded? Do your old ways of understanding God no longer fit? Are you struggling to find new language and new images for the divine? In this class we will explore our spiritual autobiographies. We will use techniques derived from contemplative traditions and free-writing from prompts to reflect on various stages of our lives. As we discover our stories, we can also find the freedom to tell new stories and delve more deeply into our relationship with the divine now.

 

Whether you want to write a spiritual memoir, or simply understand yourself better, this retreat will give you tools to explore where you’ve been, and understand where you are. 

We will begin with dinner together at 6:00pm on Monday. Each day will include writing prompts, silent reflection, the opportunity to learn from each other, and time for solitary writing. Though this is not a retreat on writing craft, we will learn from one another’s experiences. Continental breakfast items will be available and our first workshop will start at 9:30am. Our days will end with wine and cheese at Tristan’s Place. We will end by 11:00am Friday.

 

Our week together will include an optional hike (weather permitting). We can also direct you toward one of Leadville’s many interesting historical sites.

Retreat Location

Our time together including workshops, discussion, and dinners will take place at Tristan's Place, a victorian home in downtown Leadville. Tristan's Place is a cosy location for conversation, writing, and even has a hot tub!
