Journey to the Beloved Through a Christian Lens

Gathering Together to Connect to the Light Within

Led by Maureen O’Brien

Friday, March 28 — Sunday, March 30, 2025

Together we will journey and find the Beloved deeper within. Using the wisdom of Psalms, the beauty of the miracles of Jesus, guiding words from mystics, listening to sacred music, journaling, and viewing holy art, we will reflect, grow, and share in a weekend that is moving, uplifting, and renewing. All seekers are welcome.
