Reiki (pronounced "Ray-Kee") is an ancient healing art rediscovered in the 19th Century by Dr. Mikao Usui. Reiki literally translates to "God's (Rei) Energy (Ki)." Christians might relate to it as the Holy Spirit or the healing power of God and will recognize the human touch involved in the laying on of hands used in some of the Christian Sacraments. The Reiki Practitioner is one who has been trained and attuned to serve as a means of transfer for this energy or life force. The Art of Reiki teaches that this life force is all around us, and that it has the power to heal.

In a healthy state the flow of energy through the body is even and balanced. Illness or stress can cause the energy flow to become unbalanced or blocked. Reiki helps to reinstate the balanced flow of energy in the body. During a Reiki treatment the Reiki Practitioner will gently lay his or her hands on specific points of the recipient's body

First Degree Reiki Training enables you to channel Reiki energy to yourself and others to promote balance and harmony to the body, mind, and spirit. Reiki energy helps reduce stress, brings comfort and calm, and accelerates the body's natural healing process.

Commuter rate is $175.

Retreatants will have the opportunity for prayer time and time for sharing/discussing experiences.

"Go in Peace" is a retreat for Christian women who have experienced abuse and seek a holistic healing path that integrates body, mind and spirit. Today, it is estimated that at least one-third of women experience emotional, physical and/or sexual abuse at some point in their lives; yet abuse is rarely discussed by religious communities. This weekend will offer women the space to explore their own healing journey in a safe, spiritual setting through the use of meditation, music, art and other healing practices. By the end of the weekend, retreat participants will have learned a variety of healing methods and will have been given resources to take home so that they may integrate healing into their daily lives.

This popular retreat is being presented for the third year in a row and we hope to have some scholarship openings (please contact us for details).
