Celebrate late spring in the mountains and awaken to the divine nuances of all the seasons, both in the outer landscape and in our inner soulscape. Rejoice in how the burgeoning green of springtime reflects our own burgeoning vitality. During this interspiritual retreat, we will draw on the wisdom traditions of the Abrahamic peoples who emerged from the desert—Jews, Christians, and Muslims—and weave together lecture and discussion, silent meditation, personal sharing, hiking, journaling, and enjoy a Saturday evening session in the Great Stupa sharing the presenters’ rich experience of Buddhist-Christian dialogue. Join us as we explore the sacred in the ordinary, the role of poetry, and the diverse weather we encounter throughout the mystical seasons of our lives.
