Journal Retreats

I think of this collection of exercises as journal retreats; they us afford the opportunity to descend the spiritual spiral staircase leading to the greater depths of your psyche, heart and soul. As is true of a spiral staircase, there is repetition, yet, all is new as we descend and ascend. Also, there are hallways and rooms at each level; we might explore some rooms, leave some for later, stop to catch our breath or stayed affixed to the staircase. As we descend, we come closer to our foundation, and closer to the heart of God, our soul and center.

These retreats give us an opportunity to dive into the deep but if we spend too little time, we will find we are diving in, getting out and needing to start the process all over again, experiencing the shock of the cold each time.
