Oasis - Note from Sanford Alwine

Come apart for a day of retreat at Still Waters Retreat House. Discover the spaciousness of time, of woods, and water; the grandeur of Fall color and sky. Experience what Gerald May named the "the power of the slowing." Be with other pilgrims in solitude and communal silence, and shared reflections. As David the youthful shepherd wrote, "My soul finds rest in God alone" (Psalm 62).

Gerald May invites us to experience natural contemplation. He describes contemplation as always natural and always wild. In his words" Becoming quiet, body and mind easing, I sense a moment of true presence, I am simply here, simply now, simply being, and it feels like a home coming . . . pricelessly ordinary."

If you would like to read or reread in preparation for the retreat, I suggest, The Wisdom of Wilderness, and\or Living in Love. There will be some handouts of his writings at the retreat.

Much Love,

Sandy
