We live in the midst of a new consciousness, a growing awareness of the interrelatedness of all things. Holiness is to be found in wholeness, not in separation. The blessings of Jesus provide us with a new-ancient wisdom for today.

This retreat, which will use as its basic text the Casa del Sol Blessings of Jesus, will consist of prayer at the rising of the sun in Ghost Ranch’s Agape Center courtyard, teaching ands sharing in the mornings and evenings at Casa del Sol (2 miles from the main campus), and rest and silence in the afternoons. Meals will be taken at a combination of the main Dining Hall and Casa del Sol, and accommodation similarly will be divided between the two locations, priority given to those who register first.
