SUMMARY:CSLDallas Annual Women's Retreat
DESCRIPTION:YES\, and… \nCO-CREATING with the INFINITE \nWhat if the most extraordinary life isn’t something you force—but something you learn to dance with? \n“Yes\, and…” is more than a phrase\, it’s a state of being; an invitation to open your heart\, trust your inner wisdom\, and welcome the unexpected with curiosity. \nJoin us for a transformative women’s retreat where we’ll explore the sacred art of co-creating with Life itself. Together\, we’ll embrace the beautiful paradox of both/and—holding intention while surrendering to possibility\, grounding in purpose while remaining open to surprise\, honoring what is while courageously stepping toward what could be. \nThrough experiential practices\, meaningful connection\, inner reflection\, movement\, and creativity\, you’ll discover the art of: \n\nTrusting your intuition\nReleasing the need to know “the details”\nCultivating a “Yes\, and…” consciousness\nPlanting powerful seeds of intention\nConnecting authentically with other women in a safe space\n\nThis retreat is for every woman ready to co-create the next beautiful chapter of her life. \nSay yes and watch what unfolds; joy and more joy ahead! \nWe are excited to announce that Lisa Ferraro will join us a co-facilitator. \nLisa is an acclaimed singer\, songwriter\, speaker\, meditation and retreat facilitator\, She is recognized for her ability to work with “subtle energies of music and vibrational space\,” making her a sought-after facilitator. Lisa will also be the Sunday speaker on November 8 and offering her own workshop after service. It’s a great weekend for the women of CSLDallas! \nWHEN: Saturday\, November 7th 9:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. \nWHERE: Springhill Retreat Center Lodge 3991 E. Renner Rd.\, Richardson 75082 \nCOST: (Includes Lunch) Retreat only $125 (early bird) and $150 after October 25th.  \nRetreat & Lisa Ferraro’s workshop $200 \n(Price for Lisa’s workshop stand alone is $100) \n  \n\nRegister Now\n\n  \n\n\nMeet Your Facilitators: \nChristine Volkmer\, RScP\nNow in my sixth decade\, I have traveled a long road with no road map…starting with how to leave an unconscious marriage\, and a faith that no longer worked for me\, to a new life as a lesbian mom\, raising six boys with my partner\, all while drowning in fear of losing my kids\, my mind\, my job\, and pretending I didn’t have a ridiculous problem with low self-esteem. I battled guilt for the pain those around me experienced as I learned to use my voice and make a choice for a life that called me. And all of their pain\, real or imagined\, ran around inside my body manifesting as one health issue after another. I survived with the help of a therapist\, but I learned to thrive with spiritual tools that shifted the ground of my being\, my perspective\, and my ability to work through emotions and emerge with a deeper sense of me\, of my true Self. I bring my passion for teaching\, spirituality\, coaching\, connection\, and personal growth with a holistic approach to just about everything I do. Learning to live FROM that place is the game changer I love to share. \n  \nSherry Wood\, RScP\nSherry has joyfully served the CSLDallas community in many capacities since becoming a member in 2003. She has served the community at every level of leadership and is recognized for the wisdom and consciousness she brings to the table. Since becoming a licensed Practitioner/Spiritual Coach in 2008\, Sherry has taught classes\, provided 1-1 coaching for individuals\, co-facilitated community retreats\, as well as providing prayer support for community members and the CSLDallas staff.  Creating containers where transformative experiences can occur is one of her passions…the place where authentic human connection dances with the divine\, no matter our age or stage in life. It’s the willingness to suit up and show up\, and to embrace the Good that is available to each and every one of us. \n  \nLisa Ferraro  \nLisa is a visionary and considered a modern day Mystic.  She is a leading-edge author\, speaker\, spiritual teacher\, executive coach\, retreat producer and facilitator who\, for nearly three decades\, produces Creativity and Inspirational retreats internationally.  \nA world-renowned singer/songwriter who charted on the Billboard Jazz chart\, Lisa is a masterful orchestrator of sound\, light\, energy and consciousness & her teaching style is engaging\, intelligent\, funny and heart-opening. In 1993\, Lisa was initiated as a Kriya Yogi with Self Realization Fellowship\, immersed in the light. \nLisa draws from a vast skill set achieved from years of experience in music\, meditation\, creativity\, corporate settings and spirituality offering an extraordinarily balanced approach to life\, Light\, the Infinite and the LOVE of it all! \nwww.SoulcallGlobal.com

SUMMARY:New Years Day Burning Bowl
DESCRIPTION:Our Annual Burning Bowl Ritual has been a favorite at CSLDallas for over 20 years. We begin by releasing 2025 along with whatever we don’t want to keep carrying around\, Let’s burn up the old\, literally! Let that sh*t go! Then we pause\, for a moment\, in the sweet in-between. A breath. An opening…and then the possibility.   \nHow will we take up the challenges of this New Year? Not with a list of resolutions\, nor a list of fears. Rather\, we listen for the revelation in the whisper of our heart or the shout from our soul - who will we be? what will we contribute? where will we stand?   \nThis year we practice letting go and then taking up in a whole new way! Explore and experiment with Rev Marquita as our guide.  \nThe only way out is through\, and the only way through is with intention\, practice and community. Let it be us\, traveling together through 2026\, in co-creation with each other\, with the soul of humanity\, and with the unquenchable universal presence of Divine Life\, Light and Love!  \nThe Event Includes:  \n\nPowerful Music \nCompelling Ritual \nFreeing Fire \nObserving Self Awareness \nEngaging in Simple practice \nA Way to Move Forward \n\nFollowing the ritual join us in Berrong Lounge for light snacks  \nBring the whole family! JOY Village will be open and celebrating with a burning bowl experience for the kids and teens.  \nWatch on Facebook: www.facebook.com/csldallas\nWatch on YouTube: www.youtube.com/csldallas

SUMMARY:Awakening the Oracle Within – Sacred Travel to GREECE with CSLDallas and Spirit Tours
DESCRIPTION:Travel with CSLDallas to Greece in 2027   \nFor thousands of years\, pilgrims journeyed to Greece seeking wisdom from its sacred temples\, mystery schools\, and renowned oracles. They came with life’s deepest questions\, longing for clarity\, guidance\, healing\, and transformation. This pilgrimage invites you to discover that the greatest oracle has been within you all along.   \nAwakening the Oracle Within: Ancient Wisdom and Sacred Revelation \nFor thousands of years\, pilgrims journeyed to Greece seeking wisdom from its sacred temples\, mystery schools\, and renowned oracles. They came with life’s deepest questions\, longing for clarity\, guidance\, healing\, and transformation. This pilgrimage invites you to discover that the greatest oracle has been within you all along. Join Rev Marquita and Dr Petra May 21 – 30\, 2027.  \nCSLDallas\, led by Rev Marquita Pierre-McAlister\, and Spirit Tours have partnered together to deliver an intimate 10-day pilgrimage. You’ll experience Greece through both the eyes of a traveler and the heart of a seeker. Walk where Socrates challenged conventional thinking\, where the Oracle of Delphi inspired generations\, where the Mysteries of Demeter celebrated the cycles of life\, and where Meteora’s monasteries continue to beckon the soul toward higher vision. Along the way\, you’ll participate in thoughtfully designed ceremonies\, reflective practices\, and meaningful conversations that connect the timeless wisdom of ancient Greece with the questions and possibilities of your own life.  \nEach sacred site becomes part of a transformational journey—from awakening the mind in Athens\, to opening the heart beside the Aegean Sea\, to discovering courage at Thermopylae\, rising in spirit at Meteora\, listening deeply at Dodona\, honoring the past at the Nekromanteion\, and finally arriving at Delphi\, where the ancient inscription Know Thyself continues to echo across the centuries.  \nThis is far more than a tour of Greece. It is a pilgrimage of remembering. A journey inward as much as outward. Ancient Greece is not simply a collection of temples. It was a civilization asking profound questions and they will be asked of you along this Journey of the Soul. Are you ready?  \nSurrounded by extraordinary beauty and a supportive community of fellow travelers\, you’ll return home not only with unforgettable memories\, but with greater trust in your own inner wisdom\, a renewed sense of purpose\, and the confidence to live from the guidance of the oracle within.  \nThis is far more than a tour of Greece.
