About this trip
INSPIRING SPIRITUAL PRACTICES ~ BREATHTAKING WHALE WATCHING ~ SEASIDE WORSHIP
Whales live in every ocean on our planet. Yet, opportunities to see a whale don’t happen every day.
If you want to see a whale, you need to know where to look and what you are looking for. You need time for waiting, watching and wondering. You need companions for the journey. You need patience and practice.
So it is with the Holy Spirit.
Join this relaxing 4-day, 3-night retreat and find sacred space to slow down, dive deep, and look for the Holy Spirit.
Explore creative prayer practices, deepen your understanding of whales, build connections with fellow seekers, enjoy sunset worship on the beach, and of course, embark on whale watching adventures!
