      <image:title>Spiritual Guide Bios - Sandy Centeno, trained spiritual director</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sandy Centeno Spiritual Director | Spiritual Guide | Energy Healing Practitioner Sandy Centeno is a spiritual director, guide, and healing practitioner devoted to creating sacred, compassionate spaces where people of all faiths and backgrounds can encounter the Divine and rediscover the light within. She completed the Spiritual Direction Training Program in 2023 and earned a Master of Arts in Ministry in 2025 at Perkins School of Theology, SMU. A Certified Emotion Code and Body Code Practitioner since 2019, Sandy integrates holistic energy healing with Christian contemplative wisdom to support healing of the mind, body, and spirit. Before ministry, Sandy spent nearly three decades in education, teaching both English and Spanish to children and serving as a Montessori guide, nurturing children and families with compassion, curiosity, and presence. Fluent in both languages, she offers spiritual direction and healing in English and Spanish, creating spaces where all feel at home and understood. Today, through Sandy’s Healing Haven — Finding Freedom Within, she helps others live with peace, awareness, and joy. ❤️ My Ministry of Spiritual Direction My ministry of spiritual direction is a sacred practice of presence and deep listening, an invitation to pause, breathe, and notice how Love is moving within. I companion others as they explore their connection with God, the Divine, or the Sacred as they understand it. This is a welcoming space for all faiths and all seekers. Together, we listen for what brings peace, meaning, and healing. My calling is to help each person remember their inner light and live from that place of wholeness and grace. ❤️ Signature Quote “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:14-16 (NRSV) You do not need to search for the light; it already lives within you. My calling is to help you remember it, to see yourself as God sees you: radiant, whole, and free. Sandy’s Healing Haven — Finding Freedom Within scenteno711@gmail.com</image:caption>

      <image:title>Spiritual Guide Bios - Rev. Nancy Sherman Carter</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rev. Nancy Sherman Carter is a Trained Spiritual Director who finds deep joy in accompanying others on their spiritual journeys. For over 15 years, Nancy has offered a contemplative presence to those seeking deeper meaning, helping them discover for themselves the next steps on their voyage of life’s many transitions. Throughout her life, Nancy has been blessed with unique opportunities to hear people share their stories. Whether at a beach, a restaurant, a hospital or a public park, many including perfect strangers, have felt drawn to her and simply began talking. While some of their stories are vulnerably gut-wrenching, others are hope-inspiring. She has witnessed hope and healing as stories were told, became topsy-turvy, and then retold with new freedom. Richard Rohr said “We cannot attain the presence of God because we’re already in the presence of God. What’s absent is awareness.” Nancy’s passion is to create a trustworthy space for reflective listening, helping her directees recognize and deepen their awareness of that Divine presence.  Freedom is found when we open ourselves up to the Holy Spirit, mindfully taking brave steps to explore areas that need to break open, navigating through changes, grief, or wonder, and uncovering our truest self.  Nancy is an Ordained Elder in the United Methodist Church.  She earned a Certificate in the Art of Spiritual Direction and Leadership from the three-year HeartPaths Spirituality Centre in 2011, and a M-Div from Perkins School of Theology in 2008. She has served as a Chaplain in three hospitals with a concentration in Women’s Services and as a Senior, Associate, and Executive Pastor in multiple congregations and non-profit settings. Her training also includes Clinical Pastoral Education, the Two-Year Academy for Spiritual Formation, Enneagram, Family System, Emotional Freedom Technique and Trauma Informed Care. Nancy is married, has three grown children and four grandchildren. She loves to travel, camp, sing, and ride bicycles - anything that gets her out in nature to experience life abundantly! It would truly be an honor to join you on your spiritual journey. Nancy offers one-hour online Spiritual Direction sessions via Face Time, WhatsApp, and Zoom.

      <image:title>Spiritual Guide Bios - Wendy Habicht, trained spiritual director - Wendy was born in Denver, Colorado where she developed a love for the mountains and nature.  She moved to St. Louis and then Northern Virginia as her dad changed jobs.  Wendy attended the University of Virginia where she met the love of her life, Hank, and graduated with a BSN from the nursing school there.  She practiced nursing in the fields of pediatric cardiology and then labor and delivery before retiring to be a full-time mom for her two daughters, Jennifer and Caroline. Over the years, Wendy found herself involved in Women’s Ministry at whatever church her family was attending as they moved around the country.  She loved shepherding women as they sought to learn more about God and themselves.  Prayer became an important part of her life when she had the opportunity to learn about healing prayer, both for herself and others.  She has been a healing prayer minister for over 20 years.  When she heard about spiritual direction a few years ago, she saw the connection to the ministries that have been so meaningful to her.  As she met with her spiritual director, Wendy discerned that she wanted to become a spiritual director to add tools to her healing prayer toolbelt.  She graduated from the SMU Perkins School of Theology Certificate in Spiritual Direction program in September 2025. One of the best things that came out of being in spiritual direction was finding Retreat House.  She joined the RH Advisory Board in 2025 and has delighted in the many programs offered there, whether writing for the “House of” books, attending Soulful Art or Common Ground to name a few! W endy is ready to accompany you on your journey wherever it may take you.  While she is a Christian, she welcomes you regardless of your faith or no faith tradition.  In lieu of a fee, Wendy requests that donations be given to Retreat House. “Vocation is the place where our deep gladness meets the world’s deep need.” - Frederick Buechner To schedule an appointment or for more information, contact Wendy at mombolina@aol.com.</image:title>

      <image:caption>Stone and his fellow Scouts preparing an area near the labyrinth for one of the benches they installed. One bench was placed on the right side of the labyrinth (if one stands on the back porch of RH looking away from the house). The idea was to allow folks to take a break and rest while walking. Another bench was installed a few steps away from the art room door, providing easy access to those who want to sit and enjoy the labyrinth but might not necessarily be able to walk it. Stone also wanted to add to the aesthetic of the space and decided planters for vibrant flowers would work well! He worked with Smith to match and procure additional pea gravel from the Colorado River to match the existing gravel for areas that needed to be filled.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Retreat House Sacred Stories Blog - Creating safe spaces with Rev. Diane Pennington - Early years</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I was raised unchurched but remembered as a child experiencing the knowing of the Holy in nature. I was kind of a wild child who spent tine roaming in and out of the woods, watching the clouds and observing animals. I knew that there was intelligence and love and organization behind the universe. By the time I sought and searched for faith, I was finishing up junior high and going into high school. It was there that I connected to the full-on Jesus revolution. I became part of the “Jesus Freaks,” and I loved it. It was all very hippy dippy and Kumbaya, and acoustic guitars. All of it. At that point, I knew Jesus as the historical figure but wasn’t really familiar with his message or ministry. Through some friends, I got very involved in the Southern Baptist tradition. As a singer at the time, I was involved with music at church. Another integral part to this season in my life was my focus on social justice and racial integration. But church and that focus were kind of separate at that point.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Retreat House Sacred Stories Blog - Finding peace amidst the noise with Seneca Alma</image:title>
      <image:caption>Resistance Meditation Therapy (RMT) is broken into a three-part series and is generally deployed over a few weeks. Alma has begun tailoring the meditation to the needs and characteristics to each group with whom he is working. Most recently, he has been in talks with DPD to provide RMT their officers. Stay tuned on those details! Pictured: Rev. Dr. Clay Brantley (far left) and Alma with the Dallas Police Department (DPD) following a presentation on RMT. RMT includes: Phase 1: Exposure to triggers Phase 2: Affirmations and grounding Phase 3: Restoration and writing new narrative Alma works with groups and individuals to utilize RMT like a workout regime. The idea is to build up one’s tolerance and resilience to deal with life triggers instead of avoid them. Sleep as well as exercise and nutrition recommendations are also made for those who go through his program. While anyone can participate in RMT, it can be especially transformative for people working and living in high-stress and trauma situations.</image:caption>

Resistance Meditation Therapy helps shift me from crazy to calm. It really, really works.” ~ Clay Brantley Pictured: Alma at RH working with some discovery questions to assist in building the meditation offered on Feb. 28.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Retreat House Sacred Stories Blog - Sunshine Cottage provides natural refuge for pilgrims - Enjoying the ancestry of the land</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I have a longing to research what was going on 300 years ago in the country and in this part of Texas,” says Landowner Arva Tatman. “The tree is very special. I am really hoping to create a space near and around the tree to connect with the history and to enjoy the ancestry of the land.” Tatman grew up in Iowa and lived on a farm until she was just six months old right before her family moved into town. With cousins, aunts and uncles living on nearby farms, she was still able to spend much of her childhood enjoying time on their land. She always felt close to God out in nature. While being with and on the land is part of her, it wasn’t until later in life that her love of nature and getting out of the city became more consistently part of her story once again.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Retreat House Sacred Stories Blog - Sunshine Cottage provides natural refuge for pilgrims</image:title>
      <image:caption>"I had the unique opportunity to be among the first guests to visit and stay at Sunshine Cottage and I cannot tell you how excited I am about returning sometime soon! From the moment you turn into the driveway, you feel like you're in a world far away from the DFW area we live in. The farm itself is definitely a working farm - we had a salad made from beautiful, velvety lettuce that had been harvested that morning! The cottage itself is charming and warm - very welcoming in every way. With all the amenities you'd want when on retreat, Arva and the Tatman family have thought of everything. The grounds outside the cottage have a gorgeous 250 year old White Oak tree that has so much charm. And the surrounding sounds of birds in mid-winter were a welcome respite from cars and trucks. There are books to lean into, spaces to watch the stars or the sun or the moon at any given time of day. And it's all within 2.5 hours of North Dallas!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Photo taken by Gretchen Martens This reflection was written by Gretchen Martens she is an adventurer, author, artist, mystic, holistic healer, retreat leader, and spiritual companion. Drawing on her early years as an archaeologist, she describes herself as an archaeologist of the Soul, seeking out spaces that speak to the culture of place and the origins of our shared humanity. She finds herself drawn to places wild and remote, where people live simple lives of resilient happiness. Recently returned from an eighteen-month sojourn in Belize, Gretchen has replanted herself in an 1896 farmhouse in Osterburg, Pennsylvania. Surrounded by corn fields and towering pines, she is finally manifesting a decades old dream of having a small retreat center for writing, creativity, and healing.</image:caption>

Having a Yizkor -Yahrzeit (Remembrance) candle rest on top of House of Remembrance tonight - and sitting next to House of Faith, with House of Peace nearby, my heart is filled with lots of emotions - and the words of many are in the pages of these books.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Who knew my younger brother had such wisdom!? I actually did. He is much sweeter than me, quietly sharing little nuggets of truth along the way. I share this, because it touched my heart, as it serves as such a good reminder.  Whatever and however you are this Christmas season, and for those who don’t celebrate Christmas, I still offer these words and story, because it is grounding. My heart tells me he might have been saying: All we need is love. All we need is each other. All we need is God. We have all we need. Amen!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Image prayers help me to tend to my blueness of the season. My word for Divine Love and my higher power is Jesus. I imagine that we go to a cabin in the woods. It is warm and inviting. There is a swing. We talk, pray and I confide in him. There is no judgement or expectation. I invite others to find their place with God in their mind, to go there and to visit with the Holy One. Where is your cabin? What do you want to tell God?</image:caption>

PRAYER: We will pray daily, tend the house with a rhythm of prayer: morning, midday, and evening. Stop and pray with those seeking prayer and invite and honor all offerings of prayer. HOSPITALITY: We will welcome all to the table providing a safe space for authentic relationship. We will provide time and space for relationship with God and one another, and we will invite play into our work. SPIRITUAL COMPANIONING: We will accompany one another to take a long loving look as we tend the interior space of garden of the soul. We will seek and savor the fruit of the Spirit in all things.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Retreat House* is and always has been God’s house,” says Smith. “For me, it wasn’t just about welcoming people around the Abrahamic faiths, because I imagine Jesus sitting at table with all people of all faiths. There are other holy texts and scriptures that hold great meaning for people including me, and we wanted to hold space for that.” *Photo of one of the first interfaith lunches “Common Ground” at Retreat House.

      <image:title>Retreat House Sacred Stories Blog - A beautiful flow of energy: Hayley Banteaux</image:title>
      <image:caption>Banteaux began working with individuals recovering from alcohol and drug addiction, something she was also journeying through. Some had been recently released from incarceration. All qualified to receive treatment through the Access to Recovery (ATR), a program started by the Bush Administration. She provided traditional Native American as well as Eastern types of message through the ATR program. During this era, she spent time providing services through retreats at Ghost Ranch, a place near and dear to many contemplatives. She felt at home in New Mexico. Maybe it aligned with her Cherokee lineage or perhaps the vastness of the dessert matched her vast spirituality and Presence. And, in the midst of her ministry in NM, she received another download. “I felt in my spirit that God was inviting me to officially learn massage. I was already doing all of the stuff, but I wanted to formalize it. God was healing me through my work. I haven't stopped since.” ~ Banteaux</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I accompany folks in many different seasons and in different ways. If you are tending to cancer in your body, then I’ll lean more into an oncology modality. If you have swelling, then I’ll focus on the lymphatic aspect of things. I pray a lot during a session. God, what do you want me to know? Clients might receive all or some but not limited to: - Watsu also known as aquatic bodywork and therapy - Accupressure - Spiritual direction - Healing prayer - Breath and visualization techniques Bodywork is like painting, you have to trust the Spirt and let go. We could go in many different directions.” Photo: Hayley performing water therapy.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Pick out an image from a website, a photograph, painting, or icon. Or, you may wish to use this photo of the pink Hibiscus outside on the back porch of Retreat House. Look at the image and let your eyes stay with the very first thing that you see. Keep your attention on that one part of the image that first catches your eye. Try to keep your eyes from wandering to other parts of the picture. Breathe deeply and let yourself gaze at that part of the image for a minute or so. Now, let your eyes gaze at the whole image. Take your time and look at every part of the photograph. See it all. Reflect on the image for a minute or so. Consider the following questions: What emotions does this image evoke in you? What does the image stir up in you, bring forth in you? Does this image lead you into an attitude of prayer? If so, let these prayers take form in you. Write them down if you desire. Now, offer your prayers to God in a final time of silence. Amen.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Find a favorite spot. Perhaps a chair, a soft patch of grass or maybe a safe walking path. Grab some tea, coffee or water for refreshment. Although it might be unfamiliar, consider yourself. Think about a time in your life, where you felt like yourself. Who was there, what part of you felt pure and childlike and good? Name this part. Give thanks to and for this part. Who has noticed it? Give thanks to and for these people. How does this part bring light and healing to you? How does it bring light and healing to others? What does this part need? Who and what might need this part? What might this best part of you need? Name those needs. Give thanks to God for this precious part of you and invite God to heal any wounding this part might have experienced. *The accompanying notecard was written by Emily’s niece Hazel.</image:caption>

I began to savor the different steps to getting my tea ready to drink.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The four dimensions of human experience are expressed by the four quadrants of the circle: Intrapersonal - This focuses on experiences of the self and the interior life. Interpersonal - This is referring to the individuals’ experiences with others and in groups. Systems and Structures - This area is dealing with how the self relates to and with formal sets of rules, regulations and relationships. Nature - The arena of nature invites our attention to the interdependence among all the creatures in the universe and the ways in which we the individual is connected to it all.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Retreat House Sacred Stories Blog - Meet failings with grace: Spiritual practices and reflection from Rev. Dr. Lil Smith</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rev. Dr. Lil Smith is a co-founder of Retreat House Spirituality Center, a spiritual director, supervisor and teacher. When Lil was preparing for a discussion at Retreat House on The Accommodation: the politics of race in an American City [Dallas] by Jim Shutze, she ran across this new book by Otis Mills, III: Dancing in the Darkness: Spiritual Lessons for Thriving in Turbulent Times. The titles of the spiritual practices in this book ignited her heart. “When I became aware of God’s invitation for me to dive deep with these practices, I decided to use these for a Lenten practice. You are welcome to join me if you wish!” Lil also recommends you get the book and grab a cup of black coffee. It deepens the experience, she encourages.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Retreat House Sacred Stories Blog - Finding your own voice in prayer: What load do you carry?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Pray As You Are is a devotional workbook written by Laura Murray where you will find conversations and prayers. These conversations come from those before us who talked face to face with the God of the universe—and lived to tell us the story. You will find doubters and demanders, the curious and the questioning, the hopeful and the hopeless, the wonderers and the wanderers. We will walk through their stories, pay attention to our stories, and pray as we are. Purchase your copy. This reflection What do you carry? is an excerpt from Chapter 3.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As an interfaith community, Retreat House Spirituality Center will explore sacred stories from community partners this holiday season as we embrace and honor our core value of cross-pollination. We’ll hear from various individuals celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. How do you see the light, feel the light when darkness seems to abound? How do you connect with the light? What does the light connect you to? How do you find God in all of this? Yourself? These are a few of the questions we’ll explore. Interested in writing for us? Send us a note!</image:caption>

In addition, he was privileged to study and ultimately teach the ancient traditions of soul work called Spiritual Direction. A particular interest of Dr. Caldwell’s is the appreciation of ways Jungian and depth psychology shed light on the spiritual path. In 2015, he published a book addressing this topic titled Adventures in Soulmaking: Stories and Principles of Spiritual Formation and Depth Psychology.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Retreat House Sacred Stories Blog - Listening to our collective groan: How spiritual direction brings healing to nurses</image:title>
      <image:caption>Retreat House: How would a nurse know if they’re burned out? Phyllis: I remember a nurse who worked in an oncology unit. I remember how fatigued and depressed she was acting and felt. She wasn’t in a place to be taking care of others, but there is rarely someone to tell. Someone in this state has no business hanging an IV or being on a code team. Nurses are like military people. They need counseling, or a place to process all they are seeing and experiencing in their work. Not everyone is going to be okay all of the time, and there has to be places where people are allowed not to be okay. We hope the spiritual direction component offers this. Chaplains can sometimes provide this space but since they are working alongside the nurses many times these relationships are too close. If you don’t think you are okay, then you probably aren’t. There are signs of burnout that can help someone identify what they are experiencing.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>You are invited to participate with Retreat House Spirituality Center as we journey together throughout Lent and move towards Easter. We are in a time of Wilderness Wanderings. The question is do these Wanderings have a purpose? What will we learn? Do we have someone who is guiding us, calling us, wrestling with us, accompanying us? Do we wish to go back when we see what lies before us? The Wilderness is a holy place, with deep invitations to be present, connect to the land and the space we find ourselves, to seek the God who at times seems to be so absent yet is so present. New here? Sign up to receive our weekly meditations and communications.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Retreat House Sacred Stories Blog - More than a cup of joe: An interview with Bonton Farms Barista Lauren Davis</image:title>
      <image:caption>Davis: Come down to Bonton. We are open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., but there are events held on evenings and weekends. We have volunteer opportunities. There’s a lot of love for community. To me what makes Bonton most unique is not only seeing the collective redemption of the Bonton neighborhood through this work, but seeing everyone’s journey and progress who work at Bonton. It is hard to ignore. So much of American culture is about sugar coating or wanting to put ranch all over things. I don’t have anything against these things but as a metaphor, it is a good example. You can order a cup of coffee with a lot of sugar and milk, but are you really tasting the coffee? Same as putting ranch on salad. Salads are super colorful, with beautiful and unique, varied items. But we have a tendencies to white-wash it with dressing. When we do this, we just taste the ranch dressing and. We don’t taste the complexities and differences of what is healthy. As a white culture, we have done this to other cultures. People of color and indigenous folks. We white-wash their cultures. At Bonton, I feel like we are trying to restore this community by aiming to sustain and value the many types of people who are part of this community.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Thursday, December 30 from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. (Virtual and in-person spots available) During this evening session we will review 2021, savor the life-giving moments, and begin the process of listening for a vision to step into 2022 with a guiding purpose. *Those not able to attend Thursday evening will be able to do this step on Friday morning. Friday, December 31 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (virtual and in-person spots available) Retreat House is available to all participants: labyrinth, art room, library, private rooms for prayer, kitchen, coffee bar and snacks, essential oils, and more. You will be able to invite all of your senses to the experience. The expanse of time is an invitation for you to connect the feelings, words, and images in a vision board/rule of life that will be a conversation partner with you during the year. At 5 p.m., there will be a time of sharing and blessing the visions. Cost: $50 includes instructions and materials, lunch on Friday. You do not have to attend the entire time. However, the guided instruction times will be Thursday 6 to 9 p.m. and Friday 9 a.m. to NOON. *Retreat House is an interfaith community.

She is drawn to finding Christ in nature and looks forward to exploring this space and learning more about God, herself and the world around her.

      <image:title>Feature Events Calendar - Holiday House Party and House of Creativity Celebration - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>RSVP to the official Evite! We've seen the preview copy and we can't wait to reveal the newest RH book, House of Creativity! Together we will celebrate our RH authors and celebrate the season of light. There will be tasty bubbles and nibbles, author readings, and books for sale. *New this year, RH is honoring authors in the RH community who have new books published. Some of our authors will be present to sell and sign their books. Karen Hoffman: Beyond the Pages: 100 Short Stories with Life Lessons Gretchen Martens: Happiness Check back with this page to see other authors who will be attending. And there will be RH Book specials: *Special Promotion for the House of Creativity Book Launch It’s the winter holiday season, which often means giving gifts. We have a special December promotion for our House of Creativity book launch—buy House of Creativity and two books of your choosing for $25, which includes a beautiful organza gift bag ready for giving or mailing. Gretchen Martens, your friendly book concierge, is also happy to ship books for you for an additional $10 to cover postage. She will need orders by December 15. Creative ideas for the holidays Save time and gift all of your arty friends a copy of House of Creativity. Buy House of Creativity and send it with art supplies to a friend or relative. Host an art event for friends at your home or rent the Retreat House art room and use House of Creativity as inspiration to create art. **Buy One, Give Two (or more) As part of the launch of House of Creativity and our commitment to supporting our community, we are asking members of our Retreat House community to consider sponsoring books for donation to community partners on behalf of Retreat House. Gretchen Martens, House of books publisher (Village of Care Press) and author of Happiness, will match all donations Buy One, Give Two ($20): Buy a copy for yourself and donate two copies (one book match) Donate a Mini-Library ($50): Sponsor a 10-book mini-library, which will include a nameplate acknowledging you as the sponsor, if desired (two book match) ***And, don't forget!

      <image:title>Feature Events Calendar - Common Ground: Interfaith Conversation and Lunch - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>This month’s Common Ground coincides with North Texas Giving Day. We are going to be celebrating in community over a delicious traditional Ethiopian meal being prepared by Anisa Adem, to honor Ethiopian New Year. Our theme on North Texas Giving Day is GENEROSITY! Your RSVP will help us know how many people to expect for this exceptional lunch and learn. Bring your appetites, your thirst (she brings special teas and coffee) and your questions or ideas about how generosity is expressed and honored by our faith traditions. Mark your calendar for Third Thursdays each month where we gather over a delicious lunch and share stories, insights and traditions around a theme - through the lived experiences and teachings of various faiths. As one of our regular programs, at Retreat House, Common Ground speaks to our Core Values of Brave Vulnerability, Cultivation, Chesed, Cross Pollination and the sharing of Sacred Stories. No Cost - Please let us know you’re joining us with your  RSVP .here.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Feature Events Calendar - Common Ground: Interfaith Conversation and Lunch - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mark your calendar for Third Thursdays each month where we gather over a delicious lunch and share stories, insights and traditions around a theme - through the lived experiences and teachings of various faiths. The theme for May is Spiritual Authority. Join us for a fascinating discussion about questions of authority from different faith perspectives. Inspired by this month’s Conclave, we will discuss how various traditions structure and deliver spiritual authority; how people find guidance through their faith community; how our interactions with authority inform and nurture our personal relationship with the Divine; and the role of hierarchy in religious authority over us. We will be talking through various lenses: global sense, practical and even local perspectives. We will explore stories, experiences and questions. As one of our regular programs, Common Ground speaks to our Core Values of Brave Vulnerability, Cultivation, Chesed, Cross Pollination and the sharing of Sacred Stories. No Cost - Please let us know you’re joining us with your  RSVP .here.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Feature Events Calendar - Vedic Fire CEREMONY with Lavanga - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Vedic fire ceremony is an instrument that harnesses the sattvic (pure) quality of Agni (The Eternal Flame) It is known as Homa, Puja or Yajna, and is considered sacred. This ancient ritual is performed at precise times depending on celestial events. Daily sunrises and sunsets, monthly lunation cycles or major planetary transits are used as guides for timing. In daily life they are used in celebration or as an auspicious offering to bring about peaceful change and abundance. A “kunda,” a square pit that faces all four directions, is used to contain the fire. Practitioners offer into it gifts of grains, ghee, herbs and seeds as specific mantras are repeated. The sacred fire coupled with prayerful intention removes fear, spreads joy, burns karma, purifies the environment and creates conditions for peace and prosperity. The fire ceremony is among the most powerful of spiritual practices because it beckons the burning up of the ignorance, delusion and obstacles that keep us from the success of knowing our own divinity, our truest source of power and intelligence. (we can adjust this part to suit the intention for this ceremony) In this particular ceremony we will be calling upon Divine Ancestors from all faith traditions to join us in offering up prayers.   Bio:  Born and raised in Texas, Lavanga has lived a spiritual life since childhood and began exploring yoga and metaphysics in her teens. A Catholic school foundation led her to find her home in Gaudiya Vaishnavism, a 5,000 year old Bhakti Yoga lineage, and has been a priestess in the tradition since 2005.   In 2011 she began offering classes in the Bhagavad Gita and other texts, leading group meditations (kirtan) and representing her Tradition in interfaith communities around the Dallas / Ft. Worth Metroplex.  She is also currently a practising “jyotisha” (Astrologer) and loves sharing the wisdom from the ancient Vedic texts in ways that are applicable to modern practitioners of all faith traditions.</image:caption>

As one of our regular programs, Common Ground speaks to our Core Values of Brave Vulnerability, Cultivation, Chesed, Cross Pollination and the sharing of Sacred Stories. This month, Anisa Adem will be preparing a very special lunch for our community. Many will be observing Ramadan and while fasting during the day, they will have opportunity to take this homemade meal home for breaking of the fast at sundown.

      <image:title>Feature Events Calendar - Stillness Retreat: Navigating Darkness - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>In her book, Wintering, Katherine May teaches that winter is a time of laying fallow, a period of time to turn inward and pause from the busyness of life. When life is moving along smoothly, we often miss the seasonal changes around us. However, in darker times, like “seasons of wintering,” we are acutely aware that something is amiss. How do we navigate our way from darkness back into light? What do we do in these darker times of life? We will have the opportunity to explore some of May’s concepts around wintering and how they might apply to whatever darkness we are experiencing. Register Here.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>You’re invited to bring your favorite poems, scripture, or any other writings and objects that help you navigate darkness in your life. Whether it’s favorite Psalms, a belief that Divine light will vanquish darkness, or the Qur'anic revelation itself as a source of Divine light that guides humanity from darkness to light (e.g., Surah Ibrahim 14:1) - these are some of the examples we will discuss at our lunch conversation.

      <image:title>Feature Events Calendar - Finding YourSelf: Internal Family Systems Series with Tracy DePue  -  CLASS IS FULL - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>We all have an authentic Self - we were born with it. Things happen in our lives where we pick up burdens and beliefs, which trigger various parts inside us. The intentions of critical, avoidant, numbing, or drill sergeant parts are to help us deal with the hard things that happened. We wouldn’t want these parts to run our lives - and yet they often do. They get in the driver’s seat when what we really want is for our authentic Self to be in the driver’s seat. In the Finding YourSelf series, we’ll explore the therapeutic model, Internal Family Systems, which guides us into befriending our parts, helping them soften so they don’t have to “drive the bus” anymore. The “Finding YourSelf” series is open to adults who are either beginners to IFS or those who have knowledge and experience and would enjoy learning in an online community setting. Cost is $75 for the 5-session series and includes a private 75-minute PartsWork session with Tracy. Registration is limited to 24 students. REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. If you have additional questions, contact Tracy here. For more information about Tracy, click here. To learn more about Internal Family Systems, you can go to www.ifs-institute.com</image:caption>

      <image:title>Feature Events Calendar - Virtual Writers' Gathering - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Join us via Zoom for our monthly writers’ gathering, where we will share our writing journeys thoughts, ideas, challenges and “aha”s. We know that writers often compose in solitude and also get inspiration and energy when meeting and sharing with others. Our community provides a warm and supportive space to discuss what we’re writing, why we may be writing and what happens when we write. No experience is necessary to join us. Whether you’re a novice or experienced writer, and no matter what style or genre, our Writers’ Gathering is a sacred space to share our stories, one of the Core Values of our Retreat House community. Email Rev. Dr. Clay Brantley at wildmustang@retreathousecommunity.org to register and receive ZOOM link.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Feature Events Calendar - Flying, Falling, Catching - A Book Study and Discussion (Central Time)</image:title>
      <image:caption>During the last five years of his life, best-selling spiritual author Henri J. M. Nouwen became close to The Flying Rodleighs, a trapeze troupe in a traveling circus. Like Nouwen’s own life, a trapeze act is full of artistry, exhilarating successes, crushing failures and continual forgiveness. He wrote about his experience in a genre new to him: creative non-fiction.  In Flying, Falling, Catching, Nouwen's colleague and friend Carolyn Whitney-Brown presents his unpublished trapeze writings framed by the true story of his rescue through a hotel window by paramedics during his first heart attack. Readers will meet Nouwen as a spiritual risk taker who was transformed through his engagement with these trapeze artists, as well as his participation in the Civil Rights movement, his life in community with people with intellectual disabilities, his personal growth through friendships during the 1990s AIDS pandemic, and other unexpected encounters.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Retreat House Partner Lavanga Schlette will guide participants in a time of cake making and teaching. Schlette is a licensed massage therapist and yoga teacher who has found her passion and calling in the Hare Krishna community. Cross pollination is one of the core values of Retreat House, the idea of engaging in faith traditions other than one’s own with the hope, prayer and expectation it will only deepen one’s relationship with self, God and the world around us. We are blessed by Schlette’s love and wisdom!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>For nearly four decades, Troy Caldwell, M.D. has been a shepherd of souls. From 1981 through August of 2016, he practiced this shepherding in the Dallas and North Texas area as a psychiatrist. While practicing, he learned much though his role as a psychotherapist and medical healer. In addition, he was privileged to study and ultimately teach the ancient traditions of soul work called Spiritual Direction. A particular interest of Dr. Caldwell’s is the appreciation of ways Jungian and depth psychology shed light on the spiritual path. In 2015, he published a book addressing this topic titled Adventures in Soulmaking: Stories and Principles of Spiritual Formation and Depth Psychology.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Weekly Message Blog - Welcome Wild Spirituality - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>You are invited to dive into the newest section of the Retreat House Website: Wild Spirituality. Wild spirituality is an initiative not new to RH, but very rooted in the daily values and offerings at the physical house and online. We are making it more explicit because it proves over and over again to be a language that is foundational in our common ground faith conversations. When you have a moment, take a look!</image:caption>
