Journey Into the Heart of God

October 7-12, 2023
Middletown, Virginia, United States

​A 5 ½-Day Journey Into the Mystery

Dear lovers and seekers of Truth, God and the Great Mystery,

If your quest for God, the Creation, the Spirit, the Divine is important to you, then we heartfully urge you to jump into this exploration and experience of the gateways to the Divine.

Come, come, whoever you are.
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
It doesn’t matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times.
Come, yet again, come, come.
~ Rumi

We have all broken our “vows” thousands of times.

In our daily busy lives, our relationship to God, the Creation, the Spirit, the Divine often goes neglected. There is a deeper part of us all that is stirring, searching, longing for our spiritual home.

From our heart and soul to yours, join us on this profound journey from being “seekers” to “finders!”

♥️ Michael, Howard and Neelama

Our Unique Approach
Usually, as humans, we relate to God the way we relate to the rest of our life: through a particular (narrow!) lens.

This limits our capacity to experience the full depth and breadth of the Divine Mystery, and all the gifts It offers in our lives. In this retreat, we will become mystics, walking through the gateways, opening up our narrow lens as we learn, exploring and experiencing all facets of the Divine Mystery.

What to Expect
  • An Immersive Retreat Experience;
  • 5 ½ days of diving into the Divine Mystery;
  • Experiential processes to open our hearts, minds and bodies to the dimension of the mystic; and
  • An in-depth exploration of the common gateways (access points) that can help us return to, deepen and expand our relationship with God.
