Where were you when you fell in love with nature?
Our love for our blue marble earth, for the natural world, holds the key to saving our planet and its peoples!
We don’t exactly make places sacred.
We lay bare their undiscovered holiness.
-From Care of the Soul by Thomas Moore
“If the doors of perception were cleansed everything
would appear to man as it is, infinite.”
-William Blake
The courage of the early morning’s dawning,
and the strength of the eternal hills,
and the peace of the evening’s ending,
and the love of God be in our hearts forever.
With you in awakening to who we are in God and to who God is in us.
Coming Home: A Fall Contemplative Retreat
In the tradition of the Iona Retreats founded by Marv and Nancy Hiles.
“The path of real life moves from one shelter to another. We are not drifters or homeless, but seekers, pilgrims, itinerants of a hidden impulse”
–All the Days of My Life by Marv and Nancy Hiles
Robert and Nina Close announce a very special contemplative retreat at the Santa Sabine Retreat Center where they have attended for many years. Inspired by the retreats led by Marv and Nancy Hiles, quoted often in the Soul Nuggets. This retreat will blend quiet time in a perfect location, deep community, chapel gatherings, art process with Debbie Ryon, and more – all centered around the theme of “Coming Home.” Throughout our lives, that longing to be at home – with ourselves, with others – manifests in many different ways, and has much to teach us. And amidst change and transition, a sense of “homeground” is vital and can show up in many ways.
We hope that you might feel led to join us at Santa Sabina Retreat Center. Here is the information for taking the next step:
