Immersion Experiences

Engage Fully

Our Three Transformative Immersion Experiences 

Fully engage yourself in one of our Spiritual Pathways by joining a Genesis Immersion Experience. Each pathway offers a unique rhythm of contemplation, discovery, and growth—drawing you deeper into connection with yourself, with others, and with the Sacred Presence that infuses all life.

BioSpiritual Focusing Immersion Experience

Discover the sacred wisdom your body longs to share. This 18month journey invites you into a gentle, contemplative practice of presence that nurtures connection to your deepest self and to the Divine mystery within. Inspired by the pioneering insights of Dr. Eugene Gendlin and further developed by Fr. Peter Campbell and Fr. Ed McMahon, BioSpiritual Focusing awakens awareness of the felt sense—the subtle inner stirrings that hold meaning, memory, and grace. Through compassionate attention to the body’s wisdom, you’ll learn to listen beyond words and thoughts, discovering a pathway to wholeness, healing, and spiritual growth. Guided by experienced companions and a supportive community, the experience unfolds step by step, deepening your capacity for compassionate presence—with yourself, with others, and with God.

Contemplative Living Immersion Experience

 Embark on a year-long spiritual journey designed to help you live with greater peace, purpose, and presence. Through six transformative retreats guided by seasoned spiritual leaders, you’ll explore the depths of the Christian contemplative tradition. From living beyond the ego’s patterns to discovering the joy of prayerful awareness, each gathering invites new ways of seeing and responding to life. Complementing these retreats, participants integrate their learning through our Heart-Centered Meditation group, nurturing stillness and attentiveness to God’s grace. Whether you’re beginning anew or deepening your practice, this immersion offers a year of reflection, renewal, and awakening to the Divine presence in all things.

Nature Immersion Experience

Enter a sacred rhythm of listening, stillness, and wonder. This week-long retreat invites you into deep communion with the natural world through the practice of forest bathing, nature-inspired creativity, community rituals, and shared reflection. Rooted in contemplation and guided exploration, each day opens space to awaken the senses and rediscover our belonging to the web of life. Mornings begin with gentle meditation, and evenings close with poetic vespers of birdsong, prayer, and reflection. Between silence and conversation, you’ll find time for rest, art-making, and open-air rituals. Come as you are—ready to breathe deeply and be restored in the presence of the Divine as revealed through creation’s living beauty.

At Genesis Spiritual Life Center, these Immersion Experiences offer more than learning—they open a lived encounter with the Sacred, inviting you to journey toward wholeness, wonder, and transformation.
