Spring Silent Retreat - A Gift to the Spirit
Welcome to a weekend of relaxation, meditation and insight set in the natural peaceful beauty of Pumpkin Hollow. The wooded trails, the stream and falls, the labyrinth and meadows all beckon us to silence and introspection, helping us to connect deeply with our Inner Self. Quieting speech and mind, we will seek to contemplate that which is beyond thought and listen to the voice of the silence within. Together we will enjoy meditations, nature walks, yoga and a campfire as well as time for private reflection. Friday night we will meet to share our aspirations for the weekend, affirm our group intention and begin our silence. Silence will be maintained until Sunday noon. As a group, our goal is to offer the peace of this retreat to the world.
Loren Wheeler, long-time resident and volunteer at Pumpkin Hollow, has facilitated Silent Retreats for many years. He serves on the Board of Directors of the New York Theosophical Society and Pumpkin Hollow and is devoted to cultivating the trails and sacred spaces in nature at the Hollow.
Carolyn Kay Wheeler, nurse and artist educator, integrates a life-work in the healing arts of Therapeutic Touch, yoga and meditation, ecstatic dance traditions and multicultural education. She balances her love of gardening and questing in nature with outreach in schools, retreat centers and nursing conferences.
