The Heart Knows:
A Journey from Loss to Transformation
Are you ready to embark on a powerful journey of healing and growth? Join Jana Biesanz, Jim Brulé, and Bill Redfield for a transformative residential retreat where you will discover new ways to hold and transform the weight of your grief and sorrows.
Together, we will create a supportive and nurturing community, where we will witness and uplift each other on this journey toward healing. Through empowering presentations, engaging small group discussions, creative rituals, and moments of quiet reflection, we will chart a path toward a deeper understanding and relationship with our deeper selves.
We will embrace this process with open hearts and minds, knowing that we have the strength and resilience to emerge stronger and more grounded than ever before. Join us in this powerful journey of transformation and emerge with newfound courage and hope.
We will gather for dinner on Thursday, July 27, and end after breakfast on Sunday, July 30 at the Genesis Spiritual Life Center, 53 Mill St, Westfield, MA - https://genesisspiritualcenter.org/ Everyone is expected to arrive on time and stay through the retreat’s conclusion.
