Enfleshed Spirits - Discovering and Embracing the Sacred Gift of Our Bodies

"Glorify God in Your Body"  (1 Cor. 6:20)

Our bodies are the intimate habitat of God.  How, then, might we grow in relationship to our bodies, healing wounds, and becoming more whole and fully alive as enfleshed spirits?

What if our bodies were not obstacles to our spiritual lives, but the places where we encounter God?

Many of us have a complicated relationship with our bodies. We carry messages we have heard since childhood, expectations from family and culture, comparisons fueled by social media, and the inevitable changes that come with illness and aging. Too often we judge our bodies and treat them unkindly, rather than befriend them.

Yet our spiritual lives are not lived apart from our bodies - they are lived in and with them. Through our bodies we love, pray, serve, celebrate, grieve and encounter God.  The mystery of the Incarnation invites us to embrace our whole selves - body,mind, and spirit - and to recognize our bodies as sacred places where God dwells and continues to work.

Join us for a weekend of reflection, conversation, prayer, and embodied practices as we rediscover the wisdom, beauty, and holiness of our physical selves. Come as you are. Leave with a renewed appreciation of your embodied spirituality and the gift of being an enfleshed spirit!
