Okay, here we go- week two of the retreat epic. As soon as the kids left the children’s ministers fled to the hot springs. We spent very relaxing afternoon at the hot springs talking, laughing, floating, and relaxing. On Tuesday, in order to make some money during my long absence from paid work I helped make beds and set up rooms for the next retreat. It was surprising fun. My Virgo moon had a heyday with all the organizing and cleaning. On Thursday, Rev Gabrielle and I prepped group lists and last organizational details for the 2nd retreat. Soon, the people began to arrive and the fun and work of the retreat began. I functioned at a group leader and counselor and all the normal stuff for priests. It was a mellow but powerful retreat. I was sort of amazed at how much the students transformed with very little drama. It was subtle and intense. That’s all for now. |
