"We are the only ones that hide our brokenness which only keeps us from healing."
Thank you for this reflection, Mark. 🙏 This is something that has been on my mind recently, as well - how we witness each other. Shame tells us to hide our brokenness, while embracing our wholeness (including the broken parts) invites us to allow others to witness our pain when it comes. To your point, this witnessing is healing.
How do we sign up for your retreat in August- It is showing waitlist but no way to sign up. I understand there is no room at the retreat center but is there still opening if you stay off campus?
so beautiful Mark. The more I learn to embrace my own brokenness as part of a greater wholeness, I see the beauty in all the wondrous lives around me. Everything has broken places. Everything is alive. Grace happens when we can hold both simultaneously.

I’m also interested in registering as a commuter. I would like to be placed on the waitlist.
