Based on the work of Parker J. Palmer and the Center for Courage & Renewal, this retreat designed for spiritual directors and meditation practticioners, welcomes everyone and explores issues of transition, vocation, relationship, life passion, purpose, and the unfolding stirrings of Spirit. Through reflection and connection, we examine some of our underlying patterns, the ways we live in alignment with our deepest values and the courage to act with integrity and authenticity.
Two off-ranch trips are planned at a modest additional fee: Exhale deeply, relax, and renew at the sacred healing waters of Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa http://ojocaliente.ojospa.com
Located on the banks of the breathtaking wilderness of the Chama River, savor an early evening of Gregorian chant at the famed Benedictine monastery, Christ in the Desert. https://christdesert.org
What People Are Saying….
The process of participating in this Courage & Renewal Retreat is life giving. It opened me to the concept that we all have within us what we need to guide our lives in soulful and soul filled ways. It offered a way to be authentic and have meaningful, loving, courageous, and life-changing conversations in a safe context. It has changed my life, assisted me in being a healing presence in my context.” MB
“Ghost Ranch is a ‘thin place’ where the spiritual is within reach. The landscape is itself a vibrant part of spiritual renewal. This Journey Toward Wholeness Retreat allowed us to be intimate with the land, our souls, and each other. I leave here with hope that I can live soulfully in this world.”
“This retreat fulfilled my expectations, and then some. I’m leaving with new access to my inner wisdom and a clear sense of pathways that will support my journey toward the contributions I want to offer my community.”
Our Venue….
I wish you could see what I see out the window—the earth pink and yellow cliffs to the north—the full pale moon about to go down in an early morning lavender sky . . . pink and purple hills in front and the scrubby fine dull green cedars—and a feeling of much space—It is a very beautiful world.”
