As human beings and as spiritual directors we are potential vessels for the evolutionary transformation our world clearly needs.

WAKE UP TO THE JOY OF LIVING: A DE MELLO RETREAT

May 4 - 6, 2012

Fee: $195
Deposit: $100

"Why is everyone here so happy except me?" asked the disciple. "Because they have learned to see the beauty and goodness everywhere," said the master. "Why don't I see the beauty and goodness everywhere?" The master replied: "because you cannot see outside of you, what you fail to see inside you."
Through stories like this, discussion, awareness exercises, talks and laughter, you will experience the joy that comes from living simply in the moment which, after all, is the presence of God. This is a conference in the spirit of Anthony deMello, S.J. a renowned spiritual master of Christian mysticism.
