Whether you are facing major changes and decisions or simply wish to examine the choices you make on a daily basis that take you away from or bring you closer to who you are called to be, this may be the retreat for you. We will draw on our rich tradition of spiritual direction from Ignatius of Loyola, Teresa of Avila and other mystics as well as psychological insights from Carl Jung, Roberto Assagioli, John Monbourquette. You will have the opportunity to learn and use tools that have proven helpful in the discernment process. We will also examine the effects of past woundedness and how discernment can be a healing process. This is not a silent retreat. Input sessions will be balanced by meditative activities, and periods of silence for prayer and reflection. Meals can be taken in silence or in conversation. Participants will be invited to personalize this retreat to meet their needs. For more information, e-mail Kathryn at innovationsca@yahoo.ca Registration is through Mount Carmel.

LORD, LET ME SEE AGAIN - Mark 10:46-52 - Fr. Martin Nyland
|
8/27/2010 - 8/29/2010
|
Friday check-in before 7 PM to Sunday lunch
|
|
The blind man sitting at the gates of Jericho once saw and longed to “see again.” Intuitively we know that we do not love ourselves as deeply as we would like and once did, perhaps a long time ago. The struggle for self-esteem, inner peace, to truly “see” and love ourselves as God does is, perhaps, a core struggle and longing of the human heart.
Blocks of anger, shame, fear, self-judgement and sadness are seemingly impossible to break through. How do these negative emotions impede you from having an authentic, abiding, deep and awesome relationship with your self and with your God? When we soften and release these protective walls and allow God’s abundant grace to flow in, our personal relationship with God can become rich beyond words.
Fr. Martin Nyland B.A., M. Div., EFT III, will help you explore the purpose, the challenge, the power and the gift of emotions. Fr. Martin is a top-trained EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) expert and Practitioner. EFT is a widely used healing modality employed worldwide with remarkable success.
Join us for discovery, reflection, prayer and group application of EFT for a truly inspiring weekend. Come to experience a much deeper place of emotional freedom and authentic self love so that your friendship with God may be profoundly enriched.
