Shelter is my guiding word for this year. It is a non-striving word. A shelter offers refuge, provides safety, and embraces calm and quiet. I went on my first retreat in the spring of 1987.

At that time, I didn’t really know what to expect, but a new acquaintance suggested this weekend experience and I took advantage of the opportunity to try something new and different.
