The Divine Heart

Living in the Fullness of Love

An In-Person Retreat
with
Colette Lafia

Friday, September 29 – Sunday, October 1

Retreat Theme  We’re all created from and for love. Drawing from her book, The Divine Heart: Seven Ways to Live in God’s Love, Colette Lafia will unfold seven qualities of love that invite us to see and experience the Divine as a dynamic flow of love at the core of our being. These invitations into the depth of love are: Receptivity, Delight, Expansiveness, Vulnerability, Acceptance, Mystery and Gratitude. Together, we’ll explore the nature of Divine love as a living relationship.

This will be a time of prayer and art making, silence and sacred conversation, self-care and connection to community. Sessions will include reflections and teachings from Colette’s book, The Divine Heart, as well as contemplative practices such as lectio divina, visio divina, walking meditation in nature, and spiritual journal writing. Come and step into sacred space in the joy of community and find grace, strength, and renewed vitality to continue on life’s journey.
