Together we will search for rhythms that sustain us, learn how to interface with the world around us, discover how to be at home in the cave of our body, and honor the obligation to bring creative expression and celebration to life.
Join Michael for an evening at Mater Dolorosa Retreat Center in Sierra Madre.
The cost is $35 and includes a picnic dinner, a 1 hour talk followed by 20 minutes of questions.
The setting will be outside in the amphitheater on the grounds of the retreat center, so bring a blanket to sit on for the dinner.
We are hearing that it’s booking up pretty quickly so contact the retreat center early to be assured of having a spot.
The Cave of the Heart is an ancient metaphor for the realm of the sacred, dwelling inside each of us. Through story, symbol and Scripture we’ll journey to this blessed place, where we can connect once again with the wildness of the Divine. The goal of this spiritual exploration is to allow us to live more fully, freely and happily amidst the complexity of today’s challenges. Cave of the Heart 3 is the third of three, unique standalone retreats.

A Journey into Contemplation
“This one-day silent retreat led by Michael Fish will include three sessions that weave together the Camino and Contemplation: Life as Journey; Jesus the Pilgrim; and The Child and the Heart. The day will include periods for reflection and end with a simple Eucharist. Michael blends amusing personal anecdotes with contemporary writings and teachings, enabling attendees to find imaginative ways to reach the Divine within. Cost: $65 Lunch included.”
