Deepening Into Silence Early Bird Deadline

By: Debra Donohue Creating Connection Director for Canada West

There are only a few days left to get the early bird rate to our Deepening into Silence retreat October 18-20 at Samish Island Washington.

Our facilitators are Vickie MacArthur and Lanette Vawter, both wonderful ministers in Community of Christ, and graduates of the Pacific Jubilee Spiritual Directors program. 

The early bird price is in effect until September 6th, (but a great value even at the regular price)

Vickie MacArthur shares this poem as an invitation to our retreat, Deepening into Silence.

Beneath All Sound
by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

Emptying my eyes.
Opening my hands.

Not answering the phone.
Not answering the door.
Not even stroking the cat 
when she nudges her nose against my neck.

Not trying to answer any question of why.
Rising of chest. 
Falling of chest.
Listening to the tide of breath. 
Just listening.

Attending to silence.
Noticing how silence attends to me. 

We hope you’ll join us for a weekend of silence and ‘samishing’
