Gift of Renewal

Gift of Renewal 

We can treat ourselves well with peace and wholesome endeavors. Three time this summer season, Pumpkin Hollow offers this gently guided weekend retreat. Our 2008 Newsletter highlighted the rich meanings in the word 'retreat'- not the notion of retreating from the boom and bustle of mainstream life.   Rather the conception that resides in the prefix 'RE" - meaning 'again' and 'anew'. There are many 'RE's" in life: resonate, relax, replenish, refresh, remember, rejoice, and of course retreat and renew!

Gift of Renewal offers you the time and space to discover a real sense of being new to life at every moment while abiding in beauties of nature - a creative process that will continue it's healing pulse as you return to 'daily life'. The flow of the weekend is to share fellowship and activities with others: contemplative nature walks, a campfire, a meditation by the waterfall. This will be balanced by the time to step away in solitude; sitting with a friendly tree, listening to the bird-song and rippling brook, jounaling or exploring presence in your silence.

Each weekend will be unique, the people who attend, the weather and the changing rhythms of summer. At solstice in June, celebrating with joyous song and flower boats launched into the stream. July and August,  eating our just harvested organic produce, splashing in the stream, a waterfall massage, sunset strolls.

Treat yourself to  a gift of renewal!
