Watering the Spirit: A Spiritual Writing Retreat by the Sea

Watering the Spirit: A Spiritual Writing Retreat by the Sea
Wednesday, Jan. 23, at 6pm to Sunday, Jan. 27, at 1pm
Gaulin House, Ten Bay, Eleuthera

Over the course of four days, participants will come together to explore their individual relationships to Spirit in their lives, and they will use writing ? memoir, poetry, fiction ? to deepen that exploration.

At a private home perched on the edge of Ten Bay cove just south of Palmetto Point, Eleuthera, participants will meet for four days to make sacred space together, using writing, somatic exercises, active imagining, music, silent walking meditations, and communing around the fire in the dark of night and under the quickening moon to connect with Spirit and the Sacred. We?ll let the healing energy of the sea nourish and whole up our bodies, clear and water our hearts and souls.

Participants can expect to explore the craft of writing to deepen their awareness of themselves in relation to Spirit, connect and reconnect with the power of Spirit, remember their bodies and themselves as sacred, rejuvenate their capacity for connection with others, remember and articulate their own deep purpose as spiritual beings in the world.

Additionally, Musician and Health Coach Tanya Hanna will facilitate soulful music and movement as well as a primary and secondary foods healthy tasting workshop. Also, Poet Lynn Sweeting will share a reading of her Sacred Poetry on Saturday night.

The retreat will begin on Wednesday, January 23, at 6pm at Gaulin House, Ten Bay, Eleuthera, and end on Sunday, January 27, at 1pm. Participants will be responsible for their own lodging, transportation and food (a list of accommodations, car rental facilities, and restaurants will be made available to participants upon registration). Light breakfast refreshments will be available at the retreat location.
