This retreat provides an opportunity to reflect on the insights of Teilhard de Chardin, Thomas Berry and their experience of The Sacred Epic of Evolution as the new trans-forming context for our lives. Our retreat will integrate recent scientific discoveries with our spiritual traditions in an attempt to foster greater personal and planetary well-being.
