Art of Prayer / 2-Day Retreat

Life, in its depth, is infinite. Not that life lacks boundaries, but rather that it holds depths we do not live. Our current perspectives keep us in a narrow living. Yet many of us sense there has to be something more. And there is more. The place in us that knows there is more, and a human existence that does not live it, causes an underlying despair in us. Humanity yearns for the fuller life we are meant for.

The question is, how do we do seek, reach and listen to the more?

In this immersive two-day retreat, Shakio Institute teachers, Dana Ganihar and Baruch Brenner, will gently guide participants towards opening to a consciousness of prayer as a "model for living.”

Their work is informed by Eugene Gendlin's process model philosophy and uses essential elements of Gendlin’s Focusing process. In this way, they transmit ancient Kabbalistic wisdom, handed down through several thousand years.

The experiential, interactive process offered in this retreat will provide the tools and teachings needed to grow into a deeper experience of what it means to participate in the process of creation. The results can be transformative, not in the way we usually speak about it, but in a radical way. The retreat is designed for people from all life paths who have some experience engaging inner work.



We are honored and very fortunate to host Dana and Baruch, both coming to North America to wholeheartedly share their wisdom with us.
