Are you dissatisfied with the state of your spirituality? Do you long to go deeper—not just in what you believe, but in how you live, love, relate, and encounter the Divine? Perhaps you sense that there is more to the spiritual life than the familiar ways of thinking, praying, and understanding yourself. Perhaps you are ready to move beyond old patterns, inner conflicts, and the divisions that keep you from experiencing the deeper unity of life. If so, BEYOND THE DIVIDE is an invitation to you. This Retreat in Daily Life offers an opportunity to pause, reflect, and awaken to a deeper way of seeing and being. Through selected excerpts from Spiritual Polarities: A Life of Tension by Wil Hernandez, together with articles by Angeles Quimson Feliciano, we will explore the paradoxes, polarities, and tensions that shape our spiritual journey. We will begin to recognize how we live between opposing realities—action and contemplation, solitude and relationship, control and surrender, doing and being, the self and the other. Rather than rushing to resolve these tensions or choosing one side over the other, we will learn to hold them with greater awareness, openness, and compassion. Drawing inspiration from the contemplative wisdom of Spiritual Polarities: A Life of Tension and the invitation of beyond the divide: awakening to non dual awareness, we will explore what it means to move beyond an either-or mindset toward a more integrated way of experiencing ourselves, others, and the Divine. This is not about abandoning our differences or denying the struggles of everyday life. It is about discovering a deeper ground of connection beneath the divisions we often create—within ourselves, in our relationships, and in our understanding of God. And the beauty of a Retreat in Daily Life is that the journey does not take us away from the ordinary. It invites us to discover the sacred right where we are: in our work, our relationships, our joys, our struggles, our silence, and even in our unanswered questions. Come as you are. Bring your questions, your longings, your doubts, and your openness to discover something new. Let us journey together toward a spirituality that is less about choosing sides and more about embracing wholeness; less about controlling life and more about awakening to its mystery; less about dividing and more about connecting. Are you ready to go deeper? Step beyond the divide. Awaken to a deeper awareness. Discover the wholeness that has been waiting to unfold within you. BEYOND THE DIVIDE: AWAKENING TO NON DUAL AWARENESS An invitation to a deeper, more integrated, and more contemplative way of living the spiritual life.
You have agreed to enter into an alliance with God. He told you to move and He would bless you. You followed but you have experienced several twists and turns. Your blessings are transferable to your children and your childrens children. But your faith will be constantly tested. ABRAHAM AND HIS TRIBE

Belonging and Uniqueness
As we know belonging is one of our basic needs, and I have come to realise that the need to belong, can be so powerful.
Musings On Sacred Spaces
Sacred spaces are not dependent on one particular religion. In fact, often sacred spaces are universal.
Dispositioning: Entering the Holy of Holies
A day or two before the start of our retreat, we are encouraged to prepare and disposition ourselves. Entering into a retreat in silence is

A series on stages of life
Our Retreats are based on the Ignatian method of recollection. It incorporates silence, with a rhythm of prayer, art expressions as form of expressing what is happening in us in prayer. It also include accompaniment with a spiritual director who helps deepen what is already
happening in the prayer time of the retreatant.
What do you call spiritual practices that do not fit in with courses and retreats, to
me it was obvious- retreats plus of course. During pandemic we were required to meet the needs of our participants.
