Stephanie Dowrick - my N.Z. muse

If only I could clone myself to be at both the 6th International Conference on Aging & Spirituality ~AND~ at Stephanie Dowrick's Spring Retreat, both over the first week in October!  

Will soul-surf from gritty L.A. to the gathering in New Zealand.

Oh, the heart yearns!



This year’s Spring Retreat runs from 1-4 OCTOBER, 2015, with an optional extension from 4-7 OCTOBER. Our theme is the peace we need and how to sustain it not only for the benefit of others and for our world, but for our own whole-self wellbeing.

Peace is the quality from which all other spiritual powers flow. Peace brings choice, freedom of thinking, physical readiness to engage with life and to live energetically and creatively. We will not only think about peace; we will also live it.

During the final three days we will deepen our times of silence, with extra time also for meditation, personal and shared reflections, walking, journaling and resting. During the earlier 3-days, Stephanie Dowrick will teach each day.

There will be time throughout for questions and carefully guided discussions, in addition to meditation and personal reflection. Body treatments are available as an optional extra throughout (other than at teaching or meditation times). 


Nourishing vegetarian food, and unfailing kindness in every aspect of retreat life, are hallmarks of the Mana experience. 

Stephanie teaches from a deeply knowledgeable, inclusive spiritual perspective, always allowing each person to find his or her way to bring the teachings to life through everyday living.
