Honouring Your Sacred Self: A Day of Renewal

## Honouring Your Sacred Self: A Day of Renewal at Bethlehem Centre

Sometimes we just need to step away from our "everyday lives" and pretend we have a different one for a while. Join Rev. Vicki Vanderhorst and Rev. Thomas DeSchutter for a curated experience at the Bethlehem Retreat Centre—a day dedicated to the art of human connection and the power of inner reflection.
This isn’t about altering the course of civilization; it’s about a simple, profound journey back to yourself. Whether you are a long-time seeker or a fresh face in our community, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to stop, be nourished, and feel renewed.

### The Experience

We’ve designed the day as a journey from the inward to the outward:

• Deepen Your Self-Connection: We begin with practices designed to take the guard down, including body movement and vocal toning to align your internal vibration.
• The Power of Silence: Take a reflective walk on the labyrinth to find your "nugget" of awareness for the day.
• Heart-Centered Community: Transition into outward connection with lighthearted, soulful group activities that move past the "masks" we often wear.
• A Journey of Sound: We’ll close with a transformative sound bath, using crystal bowls to let peace resonate through every cell of your body.
