Retreats

It is in quiet and solitude that our hearts are most likely to hear God's still, small voice and receive His loving-kindness. We have discovered that "getting away with God" can be a significant milestone in our journey, and so we are developing a variety of opportunities for those interested in learning and experiencing "the art of retreat-taking".

Starry Skies Over Santa Rosa

Saturday, September 11, 2010,7:30-9:30 p.m.
The New Moon means a dark night sky and that is a good night for stargazing. Join us for a night under the stars. We will meet at the Journey Center and carpool to a Santa Rosa destination. The evening will include a short walk to a viewing area where we will stretch out tarps and settle in for a laser light astronomy program to orient us to the fall constellations, hear stories and keep our eyes open for a meteor or satellite.
