Spiritual Formation Retreat March 17-19

ENTER/SPACE: A SPIRITUAL FORMATION RETREAT
An initiative of THE JESUS DOJO sponsored by ReIMAGINE!

DATES: The weekend of March 17-19

LOCATION: Capitola, California (a coastal village just South of Santa Cruz)

COST: Sliding scale donation of $60-$130

ENTER/SPACE is a retreat experience designed around understanding and
practicing spiritual disciplines. Jesus, the teacher, is our example. He
often withdrew to lonely places to pursue connection and centeredness in the
energy and presence of God. Silence, solitude and prayer provide the space
for insight, healing, transformation and renewed vision to occur in our
lives--essential rhythms in the lives of those who pursue apprenticeship to
Jesus.

The weekend will be facilitated by a team of spiritual formation
practitioners and will include extended exercises in prayer, silence and
solitude. Participants will be encouraged to wander beaches and find a
lonely place to listen to the voice of God. Our understanding is that the
goal of spiritual formation practices is to reengage with greater clarity,
focus and energy to serve others in love.

Eight weeks of cohort meetings in various Bay Area locations provide a
further opportunity to explore spiritual formation through weekly exercises
and group interaction.
