MEDITATION WEEKEND XIV - Jekyll Island - 4/16-17/22

"Wow... I am still processing this weekend....I know one thing, the presence of God was on that beach...you can feel it in those baptismal pictures...I promise Jesus was on the beach with us at that time..."

"...Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend...Meditation weekends always happen at the right time for me. I've been dealing with a ton of work stress over the last several months and being here with you melted it all away...Thank you to Jim Swilley for getting us together for Communion wherever we are, for being an amazing person, and our guide...I enjoyed spending time with each of you this weekend and thank you for the friendships we're building. Thank you for the serious conversations and the silly ones. I love you all, my friends..."

"...we have to head back down south, but wanted to say what a miraculous weekend this was from start to finish. Even if some things did not go as we planned them, they were still miraculous in every way. The biggest miracles that I have are the connections and the friendships that were made this weekend. I enjoyed getting to know new people and strengthening old friendships...The highlight for me definitely was communion. That was the first time I had communion in 20 years, and it felt right. A special thank you to my Rabbi for letting me sit at his feet and listen and learn and deconstruct from past religious trauma. I receive my healing gratefully. I love you all...see you online next week and in the flesh in August!"

"I have been reflecting on our time this weekend. Mike and I set an intention this past week for this weekend to be about learning more about meditation and meeting other like minded people. Other than that we were totally open. We accomplished both. We completed an audio book on the drive down that I would recommend to anyone. It was rich with the basics. We also had great fellowship on top of that. Above that I think we made some great friends. Thanks everyone for making us feel welcome. On another note I saw a lot of things to come while I was there. I am extremely excited. I think this is just the beginning for Mike and me."

"Married on Good Friday and baptized on Easter. My heart forever thankful and free. The roads here were often treacherous, and the resultant destination is more beautiful than all the natural ecosystems combined. I am FREE. I will forever feel the Baptismal waters wash over me. Thank you Bishop, and to everyone there and to everyone in my loving life."
