A Celebrating Life Ministries Healing Retreat
Tapping into Living Waters
Come join our spiritual family as we come together from around the country to experience Miracles, Signs and Wonders among us. Twice a year our community comes together to celebrate God with two Annual Healing Retreats, one in the Spring and the other in the Fall.
Join us in Hawaii as we walk the path of healing and restoration for new beginnings in our lives. All are welcome and encouraged to spend time to heal as we draw from the Holy Spirit’s whispers encouraging all of us to go deeper with our relationship with the Divine.
How do we go deeper?
- Silence
- Meditations
- Devotional Prayer
- Worship
- Personal Prayer
- Laying on of hands for Healings
- Baptism in the Ocean
- Rest in God
Something is happening in people’s lives who decide to spend time soaking in The Presence of the Divine for extended periods of time. Come experience the healing power of grace.
