I am looking for “collaborators” who are also interested in this project that is loosely defined as healing healthcare workers. But it could also take a spin and end up being mostly about creating an “alternative medicine” healing space. There’s this bent I have towards the performing arts, and for me that means dancing and singing, and I want to include elements of that.

I am hoping to have participants help cover the costs of the rental, but am open to including participants who really want to be there who aren’t able to pay. It is $75/night/per person for the space with a minimum of at least 8 rooms reserved. 

Who:

6-16 Collaborators for my healing work for healthcare workers.

What:

A 3-night retreat in 12-bedroom retreat center with a commercial kitchen, on 5 acres of land. There is a beautiful chapel for contemplation and meditation and a living room and dining room with a quality piano.

When:

August 25-28

Where:

EHOP (Episcopal House of Prayer)

St. Joseph, MN (1 hour Shuttle available from Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport)

Home

Why:

To slow down

To take a break from city life

To be together with healers of healers

To find a contemplative flow

To think about a plan for a future healing retreat with healthcare workers.
