Early bird pricing for this weekend retreat expires on July 29. So if you’re thinking about joining me at the beautiful Bon Secours Retreat & Conference Center<\/a>, Sept. 29-Oct. 1, now is the time to get that registration form in!<\/p>\n

What’s this retreat all about? Details:<\/p>\n

So often we rush headlong through our days, our weeks, our lives, missing out on the real moments, those places where the spark of the Divine is so close we could almost touch it \u2014 if only we\u2019d been paying attention. We tell ourselves we don\u2019t have time, but the truth is we don\u2019t need more time but rather more presence. When we seek beauty right where we are, we discover God in our midst, in the ordinary events and mundane moments of our lives.<\/p>\n

The Divine is not a distant dream but a daily reality. Join writer and retreat leader Mary DeTurris Poust for a weekend focused on this beautiful truth and how to let it unfold in your life day by day. This retreat will include not only formal presentations but guided meditation, optional yoga classes, journaling, poetry, collage as prayer, and small doses of silence to soothe the soul. Come away for a short time to restore your serenity, recharge your energy, and recognize God alongside you every step of the way.<\/p>\n

Check in begins at 4pm and the retreat will begin after dinner. Lunch is included on Sunday before departure. Info and registration HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
