The Way of Love: An Interspiritual Convergence
Overnight Contemplative Retreat
February 13-16, 2025
Rev. Matthew Wright and Rabbi Shefa Gold
Each of the Abrahamic traditions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—has at its core a commitment to step onto the Path of Love. When we delve deep into our diverse spiritual practices, it shows us hints of our true identity and glimpses into Unity consciousness.
This retreat will explore the Way of Love woven through the mystical heart of these three great religions, engaging practices and elements of vision from each tradition. We’ll open to an interspiritual dialogue between traditions grounded at the experience level.
Offering: Private Room with Private Bath - $600
Private Room with Hall Bath - $475
Commuter - $375
