About Cave of the Heart 2

“Preparing this introductory letter to Cave of the Heart II, I suddenly recalled a dream someone in spiritual direction shared with me. In the dream he is driving a van packed with his belongings. He arrives at the mouth of a cave and realizes he will not be able to proceed, so leaving the van and all his possessions he enters into the cave on foot. The interior is dark, he has no idea where he’s going or where it will lead. All he knows is that he must continue, curious more than afraid, he sets out on this new leg of his journey. There is no light at the end of the tunnel and yet he is confident that the journey itself will be his light. The dream proved to be prophetic. In actual life he had to leave much of his past behind and continue in the darkness of unknowing and in doing so discovered new aspects of himself and a marvelous freedom.

 In this Cave of the Heart retreat we shall be attempting something similar. This is an invitation to leave old ways behind to continue our journey into the cave, like any real spelunker. We will be looking for a “modus vivendi” or “modus operandi” – the “how” of negotiating the way – learning skills for this new leg of our journey. We’ll, hopefully, explore a new relationship with our body, how to relax in this chaotic modern world, how to find our own unique music, how to interface with mystery and capture some of the dreamer’s curious excitement, as we proceed often in unknowing.”
