Life moves fast like a river that never sleeps. You swim hard against the current and you forget to float. You carry the weight of your days in your shoulders. A retreat is not an escape from your life. It is a place to stand still. We call these moments Sacred Pauses. They are the quiet breath between the words.

In our Sacred Cycles gatherings we follow the rhythm of the moon and the turning year. We remember that the earth does not bloom all the time. It rests and then it grows. You must do the same. You come here to silence the noise of the world. You come to listen to the voice that lives inside your chest. When you stop you allow your spirit to catch up with your body. It is the only way to move forward with truth.
