What is the terrain of freedom?
We all have experiences or periods of time where we are open, graceful, generative, creative, fluid, where our yes to God and others is fulsome and natural, where we are aligned with God’s grace. This is the terrain of freedom.

On the other hand, each of us has concrete experiences, circumstances, periods of time when we are bound up, enslaved, where we do the very things we do not want to do. We are reactive, chaotic, and everything feels at odds. This is the opposite of the terrain of freedom.

In this retreat, we will have a chance to explore the space of the terrain of freedom within us and become more aware of what impinges on that space of freedom and what knocks us out of our terrain of freedom. We seek to join God in his desire to give us life and life abundant, to increase our terrain of freedom.
