The Shalom Retreat Experience:

Loving is an art. The skills of loving can be learned. They involve seeing and hearing another, expressing good will, recognizing another’s right to think and feel as he/she does, and the skill of being fully present in our relationships with others.

Shalom Retreats focus on empowerment. Through the practice of intentional loving, open space is created in community in which individuals can learn to express themselves with integrity, creativity and passion. Our loving and life force can be blocked by unexpressed feelings such as anger, fear, grief or shame. By unblocking energy we are able to claim our joy, our passion and fully embody the Divine in our daily lives. A variety of techniques are used as a means for releasing and transforming repressed emotions, so that one’s passion for life may be fully realized.

Shalom Retreats are for personal growth. They are not intended as a substitute for psychotherapy. They are designed for those who seek to grow and become more aware. Although Shalom Retreats focus on individual work, they can also deepen relationships. You may choose to participate with a friend or life partner.  We take care to build a loving community that holds each individual as they seek to alter underlying attitudes and behavior patterns that are no longer life giving.
