Offering a Space for
Encounter, Trust & Grace
presented by Carolyn Craig-Emilsen
This presentation will explore the ways in which people may be encouraged to experience transformative insights within the contemplative space offered by retreats. Carolyn will look at some contemplative practices and draw on the ideas of key spiritual writers including Esther de Waal, Henri Nouwen and Parker J. Palmer.
