This afternoon program is part of the “Wellsprings of Spirituality” series to mark Mercy Conference and Retreat Center’s 50 years of service in the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
“Life is full of suffering, and life is full of overcoming suffering” (Helen Keller).
Here is a tiny retreat for adult seekers of all ages. Whatever your spiritual tradition, or no spiritual tradition, you will connect with adults of all generations who are interested in exploring the inner life in a new way. You will leave this retreat with practical tools to boost your HQ & RQ (Happiness & Resilience Quotients). Ancient spiritual practices informed by mystics of the Judeo-Christian tradition will be presented with refreshing modern updates informed by somatic, and object relations psychotherapy. Bring your open mind and open heart.
