True Prayer

Well Being Retreat Center is offering a two-night Weekend Retreat entitled “True Prayer.” This weekend event, led by the author of "It's Time to Wake Up Now: The Top Ten Myths that Can Hijack Spiritual Awakening.," a five star rated book on Amazon, will point towards the immensity of what is possible when we get beyond asking for toys and start asking for what will make us truly and eternally happy.

This retreat is a non-denominational opportunity to explore one’s own true nature – free from the everyday distractions and busyness of our lives. The weekend will include silent sittings in the serenity of our meeting room or down by the river, some guided meditation, structured sharing and a guided inquiry talk by Don Oakley on Saturday morning entitled “True Prayer.“ . All activities during the weekend are voluntary, of course, and all inquiry will be experientially grounded.

We ask that you bring and prepare one meal. Depending on the number of people attending, two or three people may be responsible for a supper or a breakfast, for example. (We expect that 10 – 18 people may attend.) In this way, you will have an opportunity to experience serving and to being served. You will also be asked to help with kitchen clean-up for one or two of the meals – usually a 20 or 30 minute endeavor. You may be surprised to find that these “yogi chores” can create a sense of community and surprisingly deep friendships even during a brief weekend retreat.

There is no charge for the retreat or for staying in the cabins. However, a tax-deductible donation to Well Being Foundation while at the retreat or afterwards will allow us to further this work of exploring our truest nature that we all share. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Please RSVP to Patty by Sunday June 11th to reserve your space. or phone at 423-626-9000
