The Shalom Retreat™ is an intensive growth experience set in a loving and supportive community. Shalom Retreats are based on our understanding of love. More than anything else, we want to love and be loved. Love is a gift. Love is not time bound. Love is good will in action. Love is a response to need. Loving is an art. The skills of loving can be learned. They include seeing and hearing another, expressing good will, recognizing another’s right to think and feel as he/she does, and being fully present in our relationships with others. Through the practice of intentional loving, open space is created in which individuals can learn to express themselves with integrity, creativity and passion. Our ability to love and our life force can be blocked by unexpressed feelings of anger, fear and pain. By unblocking energy, we are able to reclaim our joy, passion and sexuality and to fully embody the Divine in our lives. A variety of techniques (e.g., guided fantasy, primal therapy, role-play, gestalt and bioenergetics) are used as a means for releasing and transforming repressed emotions, so that one’s passion for life may be fully realized.Start: 4:00 pm

It's time again to light your rhythmic fire this coming Saturday. Dan Petersen will again lead us in a drumfest. Note that no experience is necessary, and everyone can participate in the drumming (or movement, if you like--in fact, last time we had some delicious belly dancers!). You can also just meditate and let the communal beat carry you into a transcendent space.
Bring one or more drums or percussive instruments if you have any. If you don't, there always seem to be extras to pass around. So just come!
Stay for POTLUCK FROM 6 TO 8PM-be sure to BRING A DISH FOR 8 PEOPLE (main dish, salad, side dish, bread & beverage, or dessert).
Invite along a friend if you like. Can't make it at 4pm? - then just stop in at 6pm for the potluck! No Need to RSVP.

The ancient Tantric tradition of India has invited mystics for centuries to explore the mysteries of the One through the inner marriage of Shiva and Shakti, spirit and matter, the inner masculine and feminine. Sacred sexuality is part of this journey, but by no means the whole of it. This course will be an introduction to the principles that guide seekers into discovering the power of breath, energy, the chakra system and a deepening awareness of the healing power of pleasure. We will be learning and experimenting with new skills through teaching, meditation and some gentle experiential exercises. Come and get a taste of the world of Tantra.

With Nance McGee & Roger Cramer Mysticism is the intimate knowledge, based on revelation, of the Source that underlies all existence. Since the beginning of time, mystics have engaged in the perennial quest – a longing for the experience of the One. How do we open ourselves to this revelation? Lawrence Kushner wrote: "Entrances to holiness are everywhere. The possibility of ascent is all the time. Even at unlikely times and through unlikely places. There is no place on earth without Presence. The Holy is always present. Apprehending it depends on my presence to each moment, being inside the face of God as I meet each experience in my life." On this retreat we will explore a variety of entrances: meditation/ prayer, nature, crisis and suffering, the erotic, art and music, relationship. Come because of your longing.Monday July 7, 2008
