October 20-21       Beauty, Silence, Questions: From Personal Scraps to Prayer Expression   (Dr. Dido Gustilo-Villasor)

Prayer, according to Jungian analyst Ann Ulanov, is basic in the human being long before the use of complex words. Prayer evolves–built from “personal scraps”, expanded by the sense of awe and wonderment elicited by BEAUTY, distilled in an inner SILENCE and, grows through QUESTIONS that surface from the soul.

This two day live-in retreat provides an opportunity to look into how one’s experience from “personal scraps” expand and deepen prayer expression, facilitating the understanding and appreciation of one’s unique prayer experience as an expression of the self.

We look into how we can deepen our relationship with the self, others and God. As we come to terms with broken dreams, with our call to creativity for the future, with making peace with our past and accepting the reality of limited options: we are invited to a deeper spirituality in our lives.
