2010 RETREATS COMING RETREAT EVENTS
July 23-28, 2010~Jeremiah for Us:
Desire, Struggle, Compassion.
Contemplative Scriptural Retreat led by biblical scholar
Barbara Green, OP.
As a prophet, Jeremiah is an intimate of God and
enmeshed in the lives of his people, so he has struggled
with much that we desire, dread, fight and embrace. Through
presentations, silent reflection, communal prayer and
sharing, retreatants will have personal opportunity to meet
Jeremiah in their own lives, appropriating grace and
strength for living lives of compassion.
Retreat Fee: $450.
Barbara
is a member of the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael and a
highly regarded professor at the Dominican School of
Philosophy and Theology in Berkeley.

several books opening scriptural texts to the everyday
reader.

August 20-26, 2010 ~
Contemplation~ A Portal to the Rhythms of the Universe
Throughout our
Universe is the Life Force ebbing and flowing. We know this
through the cycling of planets and heavenly bodies. Our
human breath carries the rising and falling of this Life
Force within our body. During this contemplative retreat led
by Esther Kennedy, OP,
we will bring ourselves into great attunement and alignment
with the ebb and flow of Divine Energy within us and beyond
us. The days will unfold through reflective presentations,
chant, simple movement, creative expression, sharing, and
contemplative prayer.
Retreat Fee:
$450.
Esther
is a Dominican sister from Adrian, Michigan. Her experiences
in both India and Indonesia have awakened in her a deep
sense of the sacred and a gentle compassionate spirituality.
Esther is Director of Spirit Mountain Retreat in Idyllwild,
California.

November 12-14 ~
Brian Swimme, noted mathematical cosmologist and friend
of the Center, introduces and reflects on
The Cosmology of Love Tradition.
Stunned by the magnitude of suffering throughout the
Earth Community, we are compelled to reflect on the deepest
questions. "What is it to be a human?"
"Who are we in the midst of this 14 billion year
mystery?" In this
weekend, which will be a blend of lecture, discussion, and
contemplative reflection, we will be exploring the
philosophical and literary roots of the Teilhard de Chardin�Thomas
Berry cosmological vision.
Retreat Fee:
$450
