Our theme this year is The Road to Eden. Eden is a
place that calls to the deepest parts of us. It is a state of consciousness,
but it is also a place in the creation story that describes a world of
wholeness, non-violence and harmony. The story reminds us that perhaps our
ancestors left a more advanced state and we now find ourselves disconnected
from the harmony and connection we originally had with all creation,
including ourselves.

Calling all people committed to Whole Planet Spirituality. Enjoy three days
(Friday evening dinner/orientation through Monday lunch) of inspiration,
learning, renewal and collaboration as we co-create a world that works for
all beings on the planet. Experience the sacredness of the Unity Village
grounds, home of the Unity movement where co-founders Charles and Myrtle
Fillmore pioneered and advocated for ethical vegetarianism in the early
1900’s. Participate in the awakening of consciousness in the heart of our
nation.

Perhaps it illustrates humanity’s move from oneness to a more sensory level
of consciousness, and we now find ourselves in a world where violence is
normalized. Whether you consider the story to be historical or metaphysical,
we can hold Eden up as the ideal for how we want to live — what we want to
strive for. We travel the Road to Eden when we seek to restore balance
within ourselves and take up the mantle as sacred caretakers to ensure all
life forms live peacefully and thrive together.
Whether you are vegan, omnivore or vegetarian, you are welcome. If you are
an omnivore attending this retreat for the first time, we believe you will
greatly enjoy the plethora of plant-based food options in the meal plan and
the loving reception of everyone in attendance. We will have creative
activities designed to support and encourage your curiosity about whole
planet spirituality.
The Whole Planet Spirituality Retreat is hosted by
The Spiritual Forum and
Compassion
Consortium.
