Greetings!
 
John's pictureWe are really looking forward to the upcoming Retreat at Sylvan Lake, Alberta Canada!
 
For the first time we will be together for an extended period of time and will have a great opportunity to deepen in our practice and in our realization of who we truly are.
 
This retreat is for those who find an affinity with the Four Principles and our Meditation Practice of Awareness. We will also be using the Faith Mind Poem during the Retreat.
 
There is still time to invite others. Please have them visit our website and sign up for the Newsletter. While at the website they should also watch the videos and download or purchase the Faith Mind Poem from the website.
 
This Retreat will be an opportunity for all of us to experience the Intimacy of the Beloved together.
 
We look forward to seeing each of you and if you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to ask.
 
We will do all that we can to work with those with financial concerns. Please contact us as soon as possible if this is the case for anyone.
 
Be sure to make use of our monthly Conference Calls and have your questions answered.
 
The only thing better than going Home is going Home with YOU!
