You are warmly invited to a three-night SoulStream retreat held at the beautiful Bowen Island retreat center of Rivendell. This retreat will include some facilitated time of input and voluntary group reflection, silent contemplation and prayer, space for processing what emerges for you.

Nurturing Contemplative Experiences Workshop 2024
Many Partners and friends have felt the invitation to offer contemplative experiences to others as a way to live out this mission in their own circle of relationships. As a result, SoulStream desires to explore with others some of the themes of facilitation that have made our courses so life-giving.

CONTEMPLATION: a somewhat acrostic poem
Why am I drawn to the contemplative life? Living a life of contemplation is the fullest way that I know how to live from my heart—the center of my being that is most deeply and honestly connected to God.
