Description: Drawing on personal experience and the wisdom of spiritual guides, Kathy Keary leads us on a journey to discover the beauty of abiding in the presence of the Holy One. This two-hour program is based in part on Kathy’s series of articles “Pray Without Ceasing — Really?” which participants are encouraged to read before the event. Join the Renewal Center to explore the presence of the Indwelling Spirit tapping on the door of our heart and calling us to join in the sacred dance. Practical ways to step into an acceptance of this life-giving invitation will be discussed. The retreat will include a presentation, prayer experiences, time for personal reflection and discussion.
