A 4-Day Retreat
There is a calling within to let go of what one thinks they know about enlightenment, the spiritual path, and transcendence itself. This retreat offers a space and a backdrop in which participants may recognize and respond to their true spiritual calling, where learning and the urge to find the right way of doing and being fall away. In that softening, one relaxes into one’s authentic swing—the natural blossoming that occurs as Authority is lived, allowing one’s way of being to come into its own full and inherent expression.
Join us for an enlightening 4-day retreat guided by Jacquelyn Eckert, Connie Poole, and John Mark Stroud. Golf provides a natural and embodied context for this retreat, with themes that may feel familiar, yet explored here as lived experience rather than teaching.
What to Expect
Discover Your Authentic Swing
Explore the parallels between finding your authentic golf swing and discovering how your true nature expresses itself moment by moment. Through guided discussions and shared time on the golf course, we notice how inner calling and outer movement come into alignment, bringing harmony into the everyday practice of being.
Embrace Your Role as Conscious Co-creator
Cultivate conscious mindfulness and the power of choice on and off the golf course.
Surrender to the Flow
Learn to let go of efforting and tap into the flow state. Understand how to navigate the mental game of golf with grace and ease, even in challenging situations.
Who Should Attend
This retreat is open to golfers of all levels and spiritual aspirants looking to deepen their understanding of their being through the lens of golf. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or a beginner, this retreat offers valuable insights for self-discovery.
Facilitators
Jacquelyn Eckert and Connie Poole bring a grounded, lived clarity to this retreat, along with a shared love of the game of golf and its capacity to reflect authentic being.
John Mark Stroud offers clear, direct pointings that support the recognition of what is already present and whole, and the natural relaxation of identification with the thinking mind.
Together, the facilitators provide a steady, supportive environment for noticing how awakened clarity lives and moves through ordinary experience.
