Bio-Spiritual Focusing Workshop
April 9-12, 2024
$450

Most of us are well-trained to learn with our minds and to “fix” problems in our lives. Few of us know how to learn from the wisdom of our bodies. Bio-spiritual focusing is a natural step-by-step approach to the wisdom of the body.

This experiential workshop invites participants to listen to their own body wisdom from the inside. It teaches a contemplative way of being with whatever is real on the inside; a way to be “in” one’s feelings without trying to “fix” them.
Using bio-spiritual focusing, one learns to enter very special doorways into our bodies’ knowing - unfinished places where we are called to grow in wholeness and holiness. There is a message of wholeness in our being, a gifted revelation that calls us forward into the inner life of God. 

This workshop will be conducted in a contemplative atmosphere, with presentations, small group work, and individual practice in a bio-spiritual focusing. Registration is limited to 6-8 participants.  Click Here to Register

The great Mystics and Saints have always reminded us that Gardens are the best places to discover Resurrection, Hope, and Beauty. In these stormy times of climate change and pollution, join Artist and Story-Teller Brother Mickey McGrath as he shares his paintings and stories of saints and mystics from across the ages who remind us that our hearts are gardens and Christ is the gardener!
