Holy Week: The Triduum with the Holy Women

March 28-31, 2024
3 nights/8 meals (Thursday dinner-Sunday breakfast)
$395 – Commuter (meals included)
$550 – Shared occupancy
$795 – Single occupancy

A contemplative Holy Week retreat weaving together ancient liturgies with creative arts practices, inspired by the faithful and compassionate examples of the holy women who accompanied Jesus on his journey: Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary and the other female disciples.

Join us at Bishop’s Ranch for a deeply embodied and emotionally rich retreat that invites you to draw closer to the Easter story by experiencing it through the eyes, feet and hands of the myrrh-bearing women of courage and compassion who were there for both the crucifixion and resurrection

We will be offering a creative space to express your deepest longing and losses through singing, drawing, painting, making nature mandalas and writing prayer-poems as we cry and laugh, sing, dance and dream together in community, experiencing Holy Week from an inclusive perspective with an emphasis on the women disciples.

Co-lead by Kayleen Asbo, Ph.D, singer-songwriter Robin O’Brien and liturgist/interfaith minister and Hebrew/New Testament Scholar Lizzie Berne De Gear, Ph.D.

Registration closes March 22, 2024.

 

 

Fall Hike with Julie Miller

October 19, 2024
9:30am – 3:30pm
$35, lunch included

Spend a Saturday walking the trails of The Bishop’s Ranch and explore how autumn is demonstrating itself on the landscape. We will cover 4-6 miles on this moderate hike through rolling topography with a stop for a bagged lunch. Situated on rugged terraces above the Russian River, the Ranch lies between conifer forests to the west and north and the heavily cultivated river floodplain with remnant riparian forest to the east. The hills and ridges offer spectacular views of the river valley’s unique geography, and Ranch staff member, Julie Miller, will guide this rambling walk with a special eye towards the natural history and viewpoints from which to enjoy the autumn scenery.

 

 

Day of Yoga with Marie Hirsch

November 9, 2024
9:30am – 4:00pm
$95, lunch included

Use breath and meditation to deepen your understanding and appreciation of yoga. Our focus will be on choosing what opens your heart, supports your health, and uncovers your inner wisdom. You will be guided and encouraged to move past your resistance into a state of peace, clarity, and joy. After a morning of active, uplifting asana practice, focused on raising the energy and creating a sense of strength and lightness, in the afternoon, we will practice Restorative/Yin Yoga, moving into increased levels of awareness and stillness.
