“Being Loved, Becoming Whole: Living Inside Divine Love”
Monday, August 10, 2020 to Sunday, August 23, 2020
We all long for love, and Divine love is the most generous, compassionate and healing energy that exists. Divine love is a becoming, not a static landing place. We are invited to experience this love in its perpetual flow and connect to it —especially in the midst of uncertainty, loss and change.
In this retreat, we will explore:
- How to become more consciously aware of the Presence of Divine love
- How to become more open to living in the flow of God’s love
- How to let Divine love become a healing force in your life
During this 14 -day online retreat, you’ll come to see yourself as a manifestation of Divine love, cultivate a deeper connection to the love that you are, and awaken to the healing gifts of this all-encompassing love.
Participants will enjoy:
- Reflections and Wisdom Teachings to awaken to the Presence of Divine love and to your true identity as love
- Prayers and Practices to invoke the healing energy of God’s tender love and mercy
- Visio Divina to engage in the sacred practice of praying with images
- Community Sharing through Colette’s guided facilitation
- Guided Mediations narrated by Colette
How the retreat works. During the 14-Days of the online retreat, you will received an email every other day. Each email will include reflections, prayers, and practices, as well as an invitation for sharing with the online community. Participants can spend 30 minutes or more on each reflection, and can participate any time of day. Any level of engagement will offer you benefits and gifts. You do not need to be tech savvy to engage in the retreat. It’s as simple as opening an email! If you have any questions, please contact Colette directly at colette.lafia@gmail.com
