There was a collective "Wow!" as we arrived in our new venue: absolute Bayside frontage with a view that took in the beautiful Port Phillip Bay. We were to be treated to a constant, slow procession of sails in the distance as we celebrated our Retreat empowerments.
On the first night, Melody led us in reflection and sharing. We shared communion, celebrated by John and Shula. This was followed by a Ceremony of Release and many of us reflected on loved ones who had passed on in the seven years since the last Retreat.
