Bones and Seeds: Engaging Spiritual Imagination 
October, 2023
Ferry Beach Conference Center, Saco, Maine


Spiritually Curious? Perhaps your heart and spirit are in need of some refreshment? Walking a Maine Beach in the heart of a New England Fall? This retreat has wonder written all over it!

You will be in nurturing community with other spiritual seekers as  we playfully explore the many different languages of the soul:
poetry, the body and the senses, art making, listening, silence, being in nature, metaphor, ritual.

Your intrepid guides for this adventure into your spiritual imagination are Susannah Crolius and Marya Lowry.
Our time together will be held both purposefully and loosely, an invitation into both the bones of our sacred stories and planting seeds of deeper in-sight and ways of encountering the sacred,

During our time together we might find ourselves:
*Reading favorite poems or children's books aloud to one another
*Diving into creative Midrash from sacred texts
*Playing with the sounds of our own Voices
*Telling Stories, Experimenting with words

*Being Lovingly Present in Our Bodies, engaging all our senses
*Awed by Nature (star-gazing at night on the beach anyone?)
*Making art
*In Stillness or Silence
*Calling forth ritual
Who knows how the spirit will move us?

You do not need to be "arty," "creative," or "spiritual" in any way to find this time meaningful and renewing.


Cost includes retreat tuition, (  ) nights private lodging and (  ) meals



Ferry Beach Conference Center is located on the Southern coast of Maine in Saco. It is a relaxed 32-acre beach-front campus
