embodiments of the Divine. While living in our Human bodies, we suffer from
afflictions which stem from forgetting who we truly are. However, through our
bodies we can also re-connect through our true nature and begin to experience
our Divine Essence. During this weekend, we will focus on returning to our
natural abilities to heal by using our senses and our bodies as vehicles of
healing. Come and discover the treasures that reside within you. We are all
healers! Join us for exploration, study, reflection, and celebration in the
company of other great men! Cost: (meals, lodging and retreat activities) $350
