What is a Virtual Retreat?

• A Virtual Retreat is fun and easy because you don’t even have to leave home
• The Circle will dial in at the top of each hour for around 10 minutes.
• Plan to share where you are on this day and then return in the next hour to share your insights.
• Use the time between calls to have your own retreat in a special place in your home, in the mountains, under water, or anyplace you can get to a phone

You and a close friend, daughter, mother, or a sister, are invited to join

The format:

• Come to the call at the top of each hour for somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes.
• Plan to share quickly where you are on this day.
• Receive your individual activity for the next hour
• Return on the next hour to share your thoughts and insights about your activity
• Use the time between calls to have your own retreat.
• Although, you will receive an “idea” for an activity, this may result in something unexpected. It's that simple.

How To Prepare:

• Plan to be at home for these hours.
• Set an intention for this day before you come. What do you most want to focus on right now? You can choose a word, phrase or quote. Write it down. Some possible ideas: Hardiness, Heal My Body, Reconnection to My Spirit, I Want to Listen, Celebrate My Journey.
• Create a space for yourself that includes no phone calls or interruptions. Tell everyone you've gone away and are not at home.
• Bring the following items:  a candle, your journal, some music, some of your favorite poetry or inspirational reading.
