Upcoming Retreats

Loving is an art. The skills of loving can be learned. They involve seeing and hearing another, expressing good will, recognizing another’s right to think and feel as he or she does, and being fully present in our relationships with others.

Shalom Retreats focus on empowerment. Through intentional loving, open space is created in community where individuals can express themselves with integrity, creativity, and passion. Our loving and life force can be blocked by unexpressed anger, fear, grief, or shame. By unblocking energy, we can claim our joy and passion and more fully embody the Divine in daily life. A variety of techniques support the release and transformation of repressed emotions.

Shalom Retreats are for personal growth and are not intended as a substitute for psychotherapy. They are designed for those who seek to grow and become more aware. Although the retreats focus on individual work, they can also deepen relationships. You may participate with a friend or life partner. We take care to build a loving community that holds each individual as they change attitudes and behavior patterns that are no longer life-giving.

For those in recovery from addiction, old issues may surface that need to be healed.
