Holistic Spirituality:
Living Your Life as Spiritual Practice

Friday, May 23 – Sunday, May 25

Fee: $330 two nights, five meals, private rooms.

Spirituality is not merely an aspect of Christian life. It encompasses the full range of human experience. We do not separate and make rivals of soul and body, spirit and flesh, church and world, sacred and profane. If something is good for my soul, then it is also ultimately good for my body, and vice versa.

Today, Christian spirituality is Christian life in the Spirit, being conformed to the person of Christ and being united in communion with God and others through all that we say and do. Health means wholeness. It must include the physical, emotional, spiritual and social dimensions of personhood.
