Home for the Holidays

An Online Retreat
with Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert

November 14-16
 10am ET to 5pm ET daily

 

Why do our spiritual aspirations and application often go out the window when we go home for the holidays? Most spiritual adherents find it difficult to consistently apply their spiritual awareness and acumen when interacting with family. This experience is particularly likely during holiday visits. In this retreat, we will review fundamental spiritual truths, which will help to orient us toward a healing perspective on our holiday interactions, examine the obstacles to consistent practice and application during holiday visits with family, and learn practical strategies for remaining true to our spiritual desire. Join Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert for this three-day online retreat.

Retreat Schedule

The retreat will begin at 10am ET (8am MT) and end at 5pm ET (3pm MT) each day. A 2-hour lunch period will be provided around 1pm ET (11am MT).

 Retreat Fee: $180

$50 non-refundable deposit required

Embodying Truth, In the World & Not of It: Dec 1-5, 2025 with Anne Blanchard

Embodying Truth:
In the World But Not of It

Mon-Fri ~ Dec 1-5

with Anne Blanchard

 

Peace Pilgrim once said, “It took the living quite a while to catch up with the believing, but of course it can, and now if I believe something, I live it.”

Nisargadatta Maharaj said, “Intellectually, you have understood, but you have to be one with it; you have to identify with what you have understood.”

At this retreat, you will learn to live from the spiritual knowledge that you believe and trust. You will look at what you value, assess if your values are aligned with your spiritual desire, and then learn how to bring your values and spiritual desire together into one strong foundation that you actually live, speak and act from.

Whether this is the first time you’re taking this retreat or the 3rd time you will find that spending time in the foundational teachings helps to bring to life in direct experience what you may not have been ready for before.

Retreat Schedule
The retreat will begin at 10am ET (8am MT) and end at 5pm ET (3pm MT) each day. A 2-hour lunch period will be provided beginning about 1pm ET (11am MT).

Retreat Fee is $300

$50 non-refundable deposit is required

Retreat House Open For Private Retreats

La Veta, Colorado is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, and the upcoming months are the best time to enjoy it. Consider a visit to the Awakening Together Retreat House. The Retreat House is open for personal retreats. Come follow your inner calling and take your next step with God.

By definition, the word retreat means to withdraw from and so first and foremost, the purpose of your personal retreat is to move away from your everyday life with all its stresses and strains so that you can focus on inner stillness. The environment at the Retreat House and the surrounding landscapes provide the space and the support helpful to purification, meditation and other spiritual practice.

At the Retreat House, we are taking special measures to ensure cleanliness and your safety. We are limiting the Retreat House to 50% capacity. Each guest will be given a private room at the shared room rate. That’s $30 per night savings on your own private room! For more information on our Commitment to Cleanliness and Safety, click here.

Here are a few pictures of what you can expect:
