Opening to the Light:

Drawing on themes from her newest book, Stars at Night: When Darkness Unfolds as Light (October 2016 release), Paula will explore how learning to move through and past life’s inevitable disappointments and losses opens a door to new awareness. In the end, the darkness is recognized as the rich foundation for a larger life and the possibility of awakening to a new way of being here.

This is a virtual retreat and will be shared via Zoom. Links to the retreat will be sent to those that register. Please ensure that you enter the appropriate email address within your registration. The originally scheduled in-person retreat with Paula D’Arcy has been moved to June 22-26, 2022.
