Based on the work of Parker J. Palmer and the Center for Courage &
Renewal, this retreat designed for spiritual directors, explores issues of
transition, vocation, relation-ship, 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. We welcome people from diverse faith traditions, racial and
ethnic identities, genders, ages, abilities, and spiritual practices to join us
for this retreat. Planned day trips include Christ in the Desert Monastery, Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs, and a visit Santa Fe Living Treasure and master weaver, Cordelia Coronado.
Our Venue:
Located 65 miles northwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico, Ghost Ranch is a place
of magnificent scenic beauty, comprised of canyons, cliffs, plains,
grasslands, and streams. This 21,000-acre wilderness ranch is made famous
by iconic American painter, Georgia O’Keeffe.
