The seasonal retreats offer time for writing, meditation and sharing of work in both small and large group settings. Participants will be guided with writing prompts and facilitated discussion of shared readings. Time is set aside for writing, informal conversation, silence and walking in the Center's wooded grounds and the indoor labyrinth.

The Moye Spiritual Life Center is located on the grounds of the Congregation of Divine Providence (St. Anne's) in Northern Kentucky, just fifteen minutes from downtown Cincinnati, and ten minutes from the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport. Therapeutic massage and private tutorials may be available at an extra cost.

I'm Going Back

by Bronwyn Park

I'm going back
Back to Room 307
Back to the single bed and the tiny sink
With no room for my bottles and jars

Back to the tender green
Of the tree outside my window
Back to the elusive ring
Of the wind chimes in the garden below

Back to the high windows and the heavy wooden doors
Whose bang echoes down hallways floored and walled in stone
Back to the enveloping feminine
To voices, words, laughter, tears
Of women

Back to the sacred circle
Where women share their deepest truths
Back to the candle
And the sound of understanding

I'm going back to the sight of women walking
Down the halls and through the woods
Pencil and notebook in hand
Faces lost in creation
To women sitting at desks and curled in easy chairs
The tapping of their computer keys
A comforting fugue to my own thoughts

I'm going back to the fountainhead
Back to the flow of birth and creation
Back to the upwelling
Of my own internal voice

I'm coming back
