Growing older is not a fading, but a flowering. Inspired by Wilkie Au’s Aging with Wisdom, this retreat invites participants to see ageing as a sacred journey toward deeper meaning, compassion, and grace. It is a time to harvest the wisdom of experience and discover the vitality of spirit that continues to grow with age.
Perfection often feels like the standard, yet it leaves many exhausted, anxious, and disconnected. The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown invites us to embrace our authentic selves, cultivating the courage, compassion, and connection we were created for.
God calls us not to flawless performance, but to wholehearted living. This retreat provides a safe and nurturing environment to confront fear, release unrealistic expectations, and discover the freedom of being loved just as we are. Together, we will learn to celebrate imperfection as a gift and walk more fully into the abundant life God desires for us.
This retreat awakens our awareness that God’s heartbeat echoes through every living thing. As we learn to listen and live in harmony with this divine pulse, we grow in compassion, unity, and reverence for all of life—allowing God’s heartbeat to become the rhythm of our own.
Participants will explore themes of creation, connection, and divine presence woven through Newell’s writings. Each session becomes a contemplative practice of attuning to God’s rhythm of love.
