Drawing on the wisdom of Twelve-Step spirituality and his new book, Surrendered―The Sacred Art: Shattering the Illusion of Control and Falling into Grace with Twelve-Step Spirituality, Rami will examine the difference between surrender as an act of will and being surrendered as a gift of grace, and explore what it is to give up the former and live the latter.

Through reflection, inner-journeying, guided meditation, group conversation, silence, and prayer, participate in the living Franciscan tradition — that is, a spiritual awareness and sacred response that’s deeply rooted in the transformative power of the wisdom way of peace.

Enter into the deep wisdom of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh as we explore together the heart of the Buddha’s teachings poignantly expressed in this very poem.

Take a restful break to deepen your spirituality with a five-day silent retreat.

Join us for a midweek retreat dedicated to encouraging clergy and faith leaders to practice the art, science, and spirituality of healthy caregiving. Explore the myriad ways that self-care is a part of authentic “compassion satisfaction” and can aid helpers and organizations in creating sustainable caregiving practices.
