Contemplative retreats offer time and space apart for the body, mind and spirit to rest, listen, pray, and renew. As a society, we have never been in greater need of this renewal.
A transformed world in which all people embrace and cultivate the spiritual nature of life through healthy, loving relationships with self, others, planet earth, and the Divine.
To serve individuals and groups seeking time apart for rest and spiritual renewal. An interspiritual retreat community embracing people in their full diversity, founded in the spirit of ecumenism.
Balancing Action, Reflection, and Celebration — connecting retreat to daily life so the journey inward inspires the journey outward, in the quest for harmony, peace, and justice.
The land that held ARC for fifty years was sold last fall. We are discerning how the impact ARC has had on many individuals can be carried forward. What we honor, complete, and support through ARC's remaining funds will follow the stirrings of those ARC has inspired and impacted — investing in ways that carry ARC's legacy forward, shaped by the very influence ARC has had on them.
ARC is poised to listen — broadly and deeply. We are engaging the community in this season — and invite you to contribute your voice to our discernment.
This season we practice letting go — trusting the seed of ARC to take root and flower through the vision and commitment of others it has inspired.
Three Contemplative Listening Circles in August — on Zoom (Monday, August 10), in Cambridge (Wednesday, August 12), and in the Twin Cities (Thursday, August 20). Open to all friends of ARC.
