Retreats, Publications and Projects

Run River Enterprises offers five different retreat experiences that help groups to deal with the essential issues of Christian leadership and living in today's world:

simplifying the inner and outer life;

surrendering in our life with God;
recovering our essential relationship with the earth;

	Falling to the Ground reaches into the spirituality of relinquishment. Yielding to God's will is the underlying spiritual stance that prepares the congregation for spiritual discernment.
	Habits of the Soul is a retreat which explores the classic pattern of spiritual growth and renewal: work, prayer, worship and community.
	Celtic Spirituality for Christians is based upon the tradition of the Gospel of St. John reflecting a spirituality that God's heartbeat is heard in all that God has created.
	Native American Spirituality shares the spiritual gifts that Native American people have offered to the Christian community.
	Creation and Spirit follows the stream that begins in the Psalms and leads to a new hope for the land as part of God's sacred earth.
