Product Description
The mystery of God’s PRESENCE in us and in ALL THINGS is a REALITY so profound that it is difficult for us to grasp. And yet, it is offered to us EACH MOMENT and all we need is AWARENESS and PRESENCE! But, how to be fully PRESENT in a life full of distractions that take us away from our Center of God’s Grace? This retreat will offer us the opportunity of time and space to learn how to truly be PRESENT to the God who desires to be with us and to offer us the FLOW of this Amazing Grace that is available to us in the HERE and NOW of our daily lives.
