THE HIDDEN TEACHINGS OF CHRIST
(Christmas Retreat)
Silence is Consciousness at rest.
Creation is Silence in activity.
Silence is the basis of life and the home of the Inner Self, the individualized aspect of God within creation – the Soul. From communion with this Inner Self - Love, Peace, Wisdom and Joy flow naturally into the very act of everyday living. Spirit and nature are joined and healed and we begin to live the full value of life as human beings– not from the acute awareness of wants and needs incomplete, but from the vast fullness of our true Divine Nature expressing the power, intelligence and fulfillment of Spirit within.
Silence is the basis of all higher states of consciousness; the unity with God that transcends the mind’s ability to perceive and understand. The Soul, only aware of itself as body, mind and senses, is ego. The Soul knowing Itself is enlightenment. The Soul knowing Itself as Its Source is God Realization.
The StillPoint Silent Retreat is a balance of spiritual knowledge and direct experience of the Inner Self and the Source of Self. It is a celebration of the quiet Divinity within which is the home of all we struggle to find outside. Each retreat has a theme, but each retreat experience is the same. It is a deepening in the knowledge of “I AM.” It is an opening of the heart to the Love of our Divine Beloved and it is a deep experience of going Home.
Retreats are kept small to maximize personal attention for each individual. No more than approximately forty-five participants are accepted for each event. These smaller groups are quieter and can be more focused.

CONTEMPLATIVE RETREAT
(Path of the Divine Feminine)Jan 25-27, 2008
Mystical Spirituality is living a life of joy and fulfillment while being fully engaged in the world about us; a life in which the Light of Love flows through our unique individuality. We actualize this experience by turning within — simply, gently and deeply.
In these CONTEMPLATIVE (deepening) Retreats we use three practices: Meditation, Contempletion and Prayer to allow the Divine Presence to reveal Itself as our very Being, and to manifest Itself in the graceful unfolding of our lives.
These are advanced retreats for those who want to delve deeply into the profound Silence of Mystical Spirituality, either for the first time, or to strengthen and vitalize their experience of Silence from previous StillPoint Retreats.
COST: $395* (includes tuition, private room and meals)

THE MYSTICAL TEACHINGS OF CHRIST
(Easter Retreat)March 7-9, 2008
Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, gave us several levels of spiritual understandings; "Love One Another," "the Kingdom is within," "and I and the Father are One". This unity is the core of the mystical tradition and the essence of the mystical experience. These retreats focus on this Oneness of mystical Christianity and the Unity that is shared among all great spiritual traditions.

FIVE DAY INTENSIVE RETREAT
July 12-17, 2008
Consciousness at Rest stirred and creation manifests from the great ocean of Silence.
Mankind's highest destiny is to come into harmony with its Source. And from the balance of the inner and the outer, live, experience and evolve the process of life. This is living from a complete state of fullness, joy and peace.
From this state we transform everything and everyone that we come into contact with - raising consciousness ever so gently to simple states of quietude, stillness and understanding.
How we live our lives is how we transform humanity.
Who we are is our agent of change.The Five Day Intensive is a deeply transforming and inspirational experience that brings all to new levels of universal effectiveness and personal fulfillment.
