Pilgrimage Home Retreat
Posted July 7, 2008
Below is a link to the flyer for a weekend of reflection and contemplation at the lovely GilChrist retreat center in Three Rivers, MI, just 45 minutes north of South Bend. The retreat will take place between October 3-5. Each person has their own fully equipped cabin. Space is limited.
The retreat’s theme of the eternal return to our own beginnings is a motif in many traditions. No where is it better stated than in T. S. Eliot’s “Little Gidding”:
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Little Gidding
T. S. Eliot
