Mountain Retreat Center |
|
The faith of Deep Mountain is one, which nurtures diversity in spiritual
expression. This faith akin supports and encourages the sharing of spirit, regardless
of path providing a concrete expression, a means, an environment and energy for
deepening and enriching growth of spirit. |
|
For every unique path, growth and maturation of spirit engenders a desire to
share and to nurture an opportunity for growth for others; a sharing of the gift
of grace and of compassion and love. Each act of giving, and of nurture, are moments
of opening of the heart. Deep Mountain provides an opportunity and a form
by which we can share spirit and healing with others. As the Retreat Center grows
to enable accommodating more retreatants with better facilities, wider expression
and greater comfort, its unique gift of spirit to others becomes more tangible
as a presence of silence and prayer. |
| The
intent of sharing spirit at Deep Mountain, hi its eighteenth year, is now
deeply rooted and solid. It is the physical facility and staff, however, which
enables the manifestation of the intent that needs continuous attention and care
and support. Deep Mountain operates only on the generosity and contributions
of money and effort of those who share its vision: those who identify themselves
as Friends of Deep Mountain; those whose experience at Deep Mountain
lead them to concretely foster its growth and those who simply share the value
of providing a place for spiritual growth and healing as a gift to others. The
Center is frequently surprised at the generosity and caring concern of those who
have never even visited Deep Mountain. |
