 Retreat Description

The Five Invitations Residential Retreat will be a powerful, inspiring and interactive exploration of the essential wisdom dying has to teach about waking up fully to our lives. The retreat offers a deep immersion into the Five Invitations and their application in our lives. It’s an opportunity to turn inward, to cultivate self-awareness, to connect with others in mutual discovery and to develop the necessary skills to engage and sustain compassionate action.

The Five Invitations are mutually supportive principles, permeated with love, that are reliable guides for living a life of integrity, meaning and purpose. They have proven invaluable for anyone navigating a life transition, coping with loss or serious illness or simply wanting to understand the wisdom that death reveals about what matters most. The invitations are a synthesis of Frank’s 30 years of accompanying more than 1000 people and their families through the process of dying.

Our days will include relaxed and informal discussions, mindfulness practice, teachings by Frank, experiential exercises and inquiry practices, poetry and mindful movement.

Who should attend

The retreat may be of particular interests to healthcare clinicians, hospice volunteers, or family caregivers. However, the retreat may be equally appealing to individuals wanting to explore their personal relationship to death and its wisdom for living fully. All are welcome. No previous experience is required.
