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
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
