As Yourself
Retreat Day
a day for the sacred work of embodying grace
Sunday, August 30th
Noon - 4pm
Registration Opens @ 11:30am, Programing Begins @ Noon
Grace Point Episcopal Camp & Retreat Center
300 Chamberlain Cove Rd., Kingston, TN 37763
Enjoy an afternoon dropping into God’s love within your heart space, calming your nervous system and breathing with the Spirit.
We’ll spend the better part of the time in mindfulness practices: sitting or lying down meditation, body scan, breathing exercises and gentle movement.
All practices will be opportunities to connect with God’s love, your own soul & the love already there, the benevolence of those around you (including creation), and breathe with the Spirit.
Mindfulness practices will be woven with meditations on God’s love & breathing with the Spirit.
There will also be opportunity at the end of our time together to share in small groups and the larger group your ponderings of the day and what you want to take with you, weave into your life with intention moving forward.
Why Did I Create this Offering?
I created this offering for three main reasons…
to give people the opportunity to intentionally connect spiritual practice with the theology of grace
to give your nervous system, mind, heart, and soul an extended period of relaxation in a beautiful setting
to give those who want to connect with the experiential side of my new book As Yourself: The Sacred Work of Embodying Grace the opportunity to do that with instruction and community. Let’s practice embodying grace together!
