Aft MUTUAL RADIANCE: A Retreat Exploring the Gift of Blessing With Gunilla Norris October 12 th & 13 th in Weston, VT Sponsored by New Thought Vermont, an organization that encourages mystical wisdom & metaphysical understanding to nurture personal experience of the Sacred in everyday life. Blessing is contagious. The more we feel blessed the more of a blessing we become. During challenging times, when we don’t know what to do and feel there is very little we can do, there is always blessing to turn to. We can count our daily blessings, send blessings to others, and so in time, grow to be agents of blessing. It isn’t easy to be aware that we are each steeped in blessing. To live in awareness of blessing, to cultivate it and to share it is a spiritual practice that can sustain us and fill us with strength and joy. In this retreat, we will explore practices that nurture our ability to sustain a life lived in blessing, including the making of blessing postcards to share.
