Breathing the Beloved

"Breathing the Beloved," an online reflective retreat sponsored by the School of the Spirit Ministry to be held via Zoom on September 17, 18, and 19. The Thursday and Friday gatherings will take place from 4 to 6 pm Pacific. The Saturday gathering is from 11am to 3pm Pacific.

Join with Friends and seekers in an exploration of the Divine as love, of being loved ourselves, and of embodying love in community. This retreat will include learning, reflection, breathing practices, sharing, and worship.

• What do I need to release before I can receive?
• How do I rest in Spirit?
• What does it mean to be beloved and to breathe in the Beloved?
• How do I embody Spirit?
• How does experiencing the Beloved bring me into Blessed Community?

The registration fee is $50, though if that is more than you can afford, please ask for financial support in the amount needed. The last day to register is September 12. The retreat will be limited to 40 registrants. Participants who need to cancel and who notify us before September 1st can choose to either receive a full refund or designate their registration fee as a donation to School of the Spirit (which would be tax-deductible). All registrations canceled after September 1st are non-refundable. Register for the Online Retreat Here. The retreat leaders are Catherine Cox (Goose Creek Monthly Meeting, Baltimore Yearly Meeting), Elizabeth Evans (Milwaukee MM, Northern Yearly Meeting), Maryann Concannon (Red Cedar MM, Lansing MI, Lake Erie Yearly Meeting) and Thais Carr (Nashville MM). You can read more about them here: www.schoolofthespirit.org/programs-2/online-retreats. Not everyone is free to spend a weekend at one of the School of the Spirit's in-person retreats. We are hoping that an online ministry will serve a wider circle of Friends. Please consider joining us, and let others know of this opportunity.
