Are you in love with Mother Earth, stunned by her beauty, awed by her allurement?
Do you believe in saying, “Thank you!”
Do you yearn to soothe the pain she’s experiencing?
Have you cried over her wounds?
Have you ever had a conversation with a rock, plant, or animal?
Would you like to feel part of the interdependent Earth community surrounding us?
Can you imagine lobbying for eco-justice?
Do the stars speak to you?
Do you long to integrate your spirituality with all of creation?
With Thomas Aquinas, do you agree that all people should study nature?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, or if you are just intrigued,
you are invited to join us at
Mountain Light Retreat https://www.mountainlightretreatva.com/
6656 Mountain Light Place, Crozet, VA 22932
for an experience of The Four Paths of Creation Spirituality https://www.cscommunities.org/
Mary Ann Wamhoff will facilitate this immersive weekend:
Friday, April 25, we open our circle at 2 and work on Path One, the Via Positiva, until 7.
Saturday, April 26, we resume at 9 and work until 7 on Paths Two and Three, the Via Negativa and the Via Creativa.
Sunday, April 27, we resume at 9 and work on Path Four, the Via Transformativa, until we close our circle at 2.
While participants are encouraged to stay on site, those who reside locally may wish to commute; however, this is a unitive weekend: dropping in for just one part is not possible. If you plan to stay at Mountain Light, please consider booking your accommodations soon info@mountainlightretreatva.com . It is possible to add a day or so before or after the retreat—or both! Spring is a very beautiful and popular time of year in the Blue Ridge!
Each path will introduce us to specific content, body prayer, sacred wisdom, and art as meditation. If you have artistic or musical projects, please bring them and your tools. The labyrinth will be used as a practice that can naturally integrate the Four Paths. Participants will have time to increase their capacity as mystics, artists, and prophets.
The Four Paths of Creation Spirituality is a spiritual practice for communities and individuals which invites us to consciously take part in the cycle of life. Immerse yourself in this weekend, share it with your anam cara, prepare to take it back to your community. The paths of this spiral are non-dogmatic, open to any and every tradition—or those with no tradition. “The Universe, and all life within it, is fundamentally a blessing.” Take a Spring weekend to celebrate this with us!
