The Spiritual Journey: Lessons from Alice in Wonderland
With Lucy Abbott Tucker
April 2 - 4, 2027
Sometimes the soul grows not by finding answers, but by following a white rabbit into wonder, uncertainty, and deeper self-discovery.
Using the story of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, this guided retreat will present three qualities experienced by Alice and often mirrored in the spiritual journey: a willingness to be messy, the gift of curiosity, and the sheer grace of courage.
Through input, storytelling, personal reflection, and sharing, we will journey with Alice as she leaves her comfortable, secure place on the riverbank and tumbles down a rabbit hole into new realities. Frequently, our secure places no longer match the lived reality of our lives. Like Alice, we question and struggle with what is happening within us. Often, we look outside of ourselves for solutions when, many times, the answer lies in our own hearts. Come and walk with Alice as we reverence the ways the Sacred walks with us in life.
