These times are calling for a shift from ordinary to extraordinary. Our global consciousness is undergoing an evolutionary leap and we are feeling its push and pull. We know it's time to remove the blinders and become conscious creators of our lives, our families, our communities. 

To do this, we need to reconnect our heart and brain, re-examine the stories we’re telling ourselves, and release our attachment to the past.  In this workshop, through music, poetry, images and stories, we will dissolve the obstacles to ourself-expression, find our embodied wisdom, and discover what joy emerges when we speak from our creative core. 

This workshop addresses creativity as a collaboration with the Divine Mystery —infused with beauty, elegance and intelligence. The week will be uplifting, life altering, and joyful with plenty of silence and plenty of communion.

Cost $615:  On site with private room and three meals per day, prepared with love and farm fresh ingredients. You will have access to the contemplative spaces at Genesis, our library, fitness room, grounds and the Providence Arboretum.  During your stay, you can also register for our Heath and Wellness offerings, including yoga, meditation and massage.
