"Women must begin to forge alliances that will add strength to their individual voices. Women must rediscover and share their wisdom to ensure the healing of the entire planet and humanity by tapping into the vast reservoir of energy that runs beneath our common ground and is creating a new wave of women's power."

Belden Lane will join with Stephen Gambill and the Washington DC Regional MALEs team (Men As Learners and Elders) to host this area's second Men's Rites of Passage near Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, from Wednesday afternoon April 22, 2015 through Sunday afternoon April 26, 2015.
This is not just another men's retreat or another spirituality event. Think of this time as jumping, or maybe being thrown, into a "life-changing stew" where you simmer for five days in the "transformational mix" of silence, wilderness, and powerful ritual that holds the possibility of breaking open your heart, allowing you to see new possibilities for yourself, and creating "living questions" that will percolate within you and guide you for years to come.
Gather at Still Point Mountain Retreat for Friday Vespers, followed by 7:00 p.m. dinner and Compline. Arrive Friday after 1:00 p.m. Retreat ends on Sunday morning. Gathered participants will follow contemporary Prayer of the Hours, interspersed with generous time for silence and rambling in the winter woods, warming around the fire, reading or writing in the library, reflecting through art or your own contemplative work, and enjoying one another in community. Come away and rest. A warm, comfortable log cabin and kindred spirits await.
Retreat include five delicious home-style meals, a contemplative library and art materials. Retreat Fee: $185.
