Program Details

Join Thomas Moore, the best-selling author, psychotherapist, and theologian who redefined psychotherapy as care of the soul, and his wife, artist and yoga teacher Hari Kirin Kaur Khalsa, for a monastic-style weekend retreat. Thanks to a fresh reading of the original Greek texts and newly discovered gospels, Thomas will reintroduce ancient spiritual teachings in a way that can be lived meaningfully in the twenty-first century, with an emphasis on

  • Cultivating a deep respect for people who are not of your circle
  • Doing everything possible to deal effectively with demonic urges in yourself and in society
  • Playing the role of healer in every situation
  • Staying awake and not falling into the unconsciousness of the age
  • Helping others wake up to a thoughtful life imagined in fresh, original, and convivial ways.

Through the monastic practices of meditation, chant, communal reflection, self-examination, spiritual reading, and silent walking meditation, you will open to the joy of human life and relationship.

Required reading Thomas Moore, Writing in the Sand: Jesus and the Soul of the Gospels (Hay House). Please bring your copy to the retreat.
