Spring Rains Refresh Our Souls

How nice it is on a Spring Day when the spring rains come and refresh Mother Earth’s parched land. Awakening the soil and providing living water to those plants and seeds that lay dormant during the winter season.

Testimonials from Previous Events

“Thank you so much for the Advent/Holiday retreat and all the other events offered during this past year.The flavors were all a little different but the vibration was always high. I am so grateful for the pure healing space you hold. This process also showed me what to commit to and where to put my intention first in my daily life, i.e. to seek the peace of God first, before speaking, eating, sleeping, texting, emailing, doing etc.” – Elke Paul

This call was like a healing balm for the deepest regions of the soul. It brought forth serious yet also light-hearted themes of how to best step into Presence, when the world is falling apart. Not only did it lift our spirits and – consequently – our vibrations in a most harmonious way, but it also allowed us to center on the truth that only God is, ultimately, real.

Reverend Kat & Goldalee in NYC

“Thank you for an extraordinary retreat. I experienced the depth of healing and connection of a three retreat, elegantly compressed into one day. Padre Paul, Bishop Bob and Bishop Dana, along with all of the support staff, were clear channels for the Presence of God, which truly worked miracles.”

– Susan Wallce
