Day 3 at SpiritRest

Wednesday: Emergence
On this third day in our SpiritRest community of silence, the benefits and opportunities for new personal growth that come from slowing, settling down, and attuning spiritually to ourselves and one another are becoming more and more apparent. 

Observable changes are happening:
  • Participants are becoming more acutely aware of sensations, emotions and internal voices that are normally muted or suppressed in the demanding rush of everyday life. 
  • Ways of thinking that are hurtful or no longer useful are being exposed and named. 
  • Obstacles and burdens that stand in the way of our happiness are becoming clearer. 
  • Dreams, rich with messages from the unconscious, are coming with greater frequency.  
  • New insights and shifts in perspective are more readily available in the silence and spaciousness of our beautiful retreat center. 
  • Through rest, reflection and spiritual care, participants are recollecting themselves and reclaiming their lives for a deeper service to love, justice, and the sustenance of beloved community.
As the day draws to a close, I am greatly comforted by the fact that I am joined with others who are grateful to be here at La Casa de Maria. In this shared journey of personal renewal, the emergence of new possibilities for life and liberation continues.
