Finding Inner Peace in a Turbulent World: A Restorative Weekend Retreat for Women
If we truly desire to create a world of peace, love, and equity for all, we can begin by accessing our own inner peace. This is not an easy task, especially when the world around us feels chaotic, or we are faced with ongoing personal challenges. In this quiet, but not silent retreat, we will begin to access "the peace which passes all understanding," a place of deep stillness and inner wisdom which resides in each of us, no matter how busy-minded or overwhelmed we may feel. We will learn to cultivate stillness through practices of self-soothing, present-centered awareness, and the art of lovingkindness toward self and others. Group interaction blended with personal reflection time, sacred rest, and time spent in nature, provide the backdrop for a truly restorative weekend that will allow you to experience life thereafter with calmness and clarity.
Suggestion: Participants are encouraged to bring a mat, blanket, and pillow; journal; appropriate clothing for going outdoors, weather permitting.
Cost: $150, includes meals and private room

Rediscovering Your "Truest Self" in God: A Day Retreat for Women
Your "truest self" is a woman who is naturally confident, peace-filled, and loving. She is a woman who embraces her unique, divine connection. She is a woman who has created deep and sustaining spiritual practices for herself; has grown from personal suffering; does not fear speaking her Truth; opens her heart to others and celebrates our Oneness. Join with like-minded women for an insightful day-away and connect more deeply with your truest self. Together, we'll explore 12 Transformational Truths that can help us rediscover how to live in a sacred manner, and live as the "holy" and "whole" women we are meant to be.
Format: Group interaction, personal reflection time, meditation, and prayer.
Suggestion: Wear comfortable clothing, bring a journal to write in and a mat/blanket for meditation/relaxation.
Cost: $55, includes lunch

Your Truest Self: Embracing the Woman You Are Meant to Be
Within every woman there is an essential Truth waiting to be claimed, a Truth that will empower her to claim a spiritual life that is real and authentic, one that will nourish and sustain her every day. Drawing from her personal encounters with twelve spiritual mentors—activists, artists, writers, and teachers—spiritual director and mentor Janice Lynne Lundy has created twelve Transformational Truths to guide and enable women to live more peaceful, confident, and openhearted lives.

Individual Spiritual Direction
Ongoing — available in both Grand Rapids and Traverse City, MI
Individual spiritual direction is an ancient practice found in many religious traditions. It is for anyone who is searching for deeper spiritual insight. Through spiritual direction you can become aware of the many ways how Spirit or God reaches out to you in your daily life. If you long to deepen your relationship with the Divine so that you can recognize how Spirit might be calling you and moving in your life, spiritual direction may be for you. Individual spiritual direction usually occurs once a month for one hour. It would be a blessing to meet with you. (231) 421-1181 for appointments. Click here to learn more about Spiritual Direction.
