SUMMARY:Empowered Soul Enlightened Life
DESCRIPTION:A day of rejuvenation\, reflection\, and discovery for moving forward\nWith Donna Cardillo\, RN\, The Inspiration Nurse \nIn her iconic book\, “Gift from the Sea\,” Anne Morrow Lindbergh poses a profound question: “What is the shape of my life?” This new one day-program invites you to explore this and other essential questions as you navigate life’s transitions. You will ponder: Where do I go from here? How do I bring my gifts to the world? Who am I at this stage of life? Who do I want to become? \nThe past five years have left most of us feeling unsettled\, unsure\, and disconnected from those things that once brought us joy and satisfaction. You may find yourself in a transitional space yearning to find balance\, wholeness\, and self-realization. As you work to figure out your choices\, what you may need most is a day with like-minded souls being gently guided through a process designed to create clarity\, inspiration\, and self-awareness. As in Lindbergh’s book\, you’ll be using the beautiful grounds at Mercy by the Sea as both a backdrop and a metaphor for activities and spiritual practices. \nConsider disengaging from your everyday life for this energetic and uplifting program of expressive writing\, labyrinth walking\, group discussion\, short meditations\, and contemplative beach combing. Participants will connect with self and others; unleash creativity; get out of your rut and hopefully leave feeling energized to re-enter life with passion\, purpose\, and positive momentum to propel them forward. Suggested reading: “Gift from the Sea” by Anne Morrow Lindbergh and Donna’s “Falling Together: How to Find Balance\, Joy\, and Meaningful Change When Your Life Seems to be Falling Apart.” \nClick to learn more and to register.

SUMMARY:The Power of Friendship Retreat at Mercy by the Sea
DESCRIPTION:You don’t have to do it alone. \nThe Power of Friendship. \nA Weekend Retreat and International Book Launch with Mark Nepo. \nThis retreat will center on Mark’s new book\, You Don’t Have to Do It Alone: The Power of Friendship (St. Martin’s Essentials\, July 2024). You will explore the gift and spirit of friendship\, for friendship is indispensable. You may discover your dearest friends in the dark labyrinth of seeking truth together. Or\, in a moment of feeling vulnerable\, you may feel safe in the care of some trusted other. You often come upon our deepest friends when taking the long way home\, when forced to put down differences\, when humbled to admit that you haven’t a clue where we’re going or how to get there. In the raw and tender space of such honesty\, the net of friendship is woven. In fact\, the root of the word friendship means “place of high safety.” \nThroughout the weekend\, you will look closely at the discovery of kinship\, the nature of friendship\, the inevitable trials by which bonds are strengthened or broken\, the acceptance of our humanness\, and the conduit that lasting friendship becomes to the larger forces of life. \n“After a lifetime of trying to be a good friend\, I feel called to affirm the spirit of friendship\, to praise what it takes to love another well\, and to better understand how friendship helps us live. So Come. Walk with me as we listen for how the spirit of friendship opens us to each other. Until we find the place of high safety where the most tender among us can show who we are\, so we can come alive together\, and affirm to each other that you don’t have do it alone.” —Mark Nepo \nAbout the Presenter\nMark Nepo is beloved as a poet\, teacher\, and storyteller. As the New York Times’ bestselling author of The Book of Awakening\, he has been called “one of the finest spiritual guides of our time\,” “a consummate storyteller\,” and “an eloquent spiritual teacher.” His many books have been translated into more than 20 languages. He has taught for more than 40 years in the fields of poetry and spirituality and is a columnist for Spirituality & Health. In 1987\, Mark was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma. Since then\, he has been a student of all paths. His work explores the common center and unity of all spiritual traditions\, focusing on how we can experience that unity when we embrace the blessing of vulnerability\, lean into life and hold nothing back. \nFriday\, August 16 – Sunday\, August 18\, 2024\nSingle – $565 | Double – $515 | Commuter – $365\n(Overnight accommodations include ensuite bathroom and all meals from Friday dinner through Sunday breakfast. Commuter rate includes Friday dinner and Saturday lunch and dinner.) \nClick to register.

SUMMARY:Healing Loss Through Conscious Grieving and Writing

This new overnight retreat will offer a safe space for reflection\, writing\, sharing and stillness. As you give voice to your loss and allow time for your grief\, you take brave steps toward hope and healing. \nNo writing experience is needed. \nFor more information and to register for this event visit: www.mercybythesea.org \nLisa A.

Of her book\, Grieving – the Sacred Art: Hope in the Land of Loss\, Fr. Richard Rohr says\, “…the roadmap is wise\, but sensitive – grounded in hope – and reminds us to rest in God’s healing love.” Lisa’s book is sold in the Mercy by the Sea bookstore.
