Training - Living the Journey

Coordinators -- Alistair MacMartin and Pat Parisi

During September, October and December 2007, we are offering a spiritual lifestyles program. This is an opportunity for people to live at Shalom Mountain to develop or deepen their own a spiritual practice. The time of stay is flexible, for 2 or more weeks.

The journey to God is a deeply personal endeavor but it need not be a solitary one. In fact, sharing our successes and failures with others on a similar path is one of the great joys of community living.  Why not join a group of fellow journeyers as a resident at Shalom Mountain? With assistance from a spiritual director and each other, residents will develop a personalized practice focused on bringing awareness of the divine into everyday life. Life at Shalom Mountain is rich with opportunities to practice mystical aplomb, whether attending retreats, helping with the work of the retreat center or simply being in community.  Because disciplines marshal energy for the journey ahead, we will practice yoga, meditation, chanting, silence, conscious eating, journal writing and community service. We will study mystical traditions from across the world and share unashamedly our experience of God.  

If you are interested in this program, please call Alistair or Pat at 845-482-5421 xt 33. The fee for this program is negotiable, based on your length of stay and your needs for programming.
