Faith is a kind of free fall. Because we cannot fully know the truth of who we are and what life ultimately means, we must act based on our limited understanding in a spirit of trust. Not knowing exactly how to live our one precious life, at a certain level, terrifies us.
And yet, when we bring our full awareness and open heart to the question of faith, we invariably discover new aspects of the self we did not realize were there—new possibilities in life waiting to be lived. To transcend our limited conception of self and come to express something truer and more beautiful is joy itself.
In this spirit, Lower Lights will host a three-day retreat to explore the soul’s terrain in the company of good friends. Engaging wisdom from both ancient and modern traditions, as well as styles of faith from both East and West, our intention is to live more abundantly and allow something new to be born through us all.
Though the journey can be harrowing, we trust that Love is ultimately on our side.
