Are you looking for something different for your center's next weekend retreat? Want something that offers personal insights, community building, and fun? Well, I'd love to offer a few ideas.

I have extensive experience in retreat leadership: I've lead hundreds of Spirit-filled retreats, workshops, and groups. I'm eager to share with you and your congregants in an uplifting and spiritually awakening weekend retreat. I led retreats on the transformational insights of the Enneagram, women's retreats on goddess past and present, couples & relationships, living in today's world of spiritual diversity, discovering the historical Jesus, and more. I've included some recommendations from colleagues you may recognize and follow this section with comments from retreat participants. 

Here is a bit more in-depth information on the Enneagram and goddess retreats.

"I highly recommend to you the Enneagram workshop presented by Rev. Nancy Clark… Our congregation loved Rev. Clark and her presentation! She is lively, entertaining, informative, uplifting…. Captivating…. And even enthralling! You will be delighted with Rev. Clark's many gifts"

Rev. Joe Rowe, Unity Church of Christianity, Valley Stream, Long Island, New York.

Soul Journey Through the Enneagram

The Enneagram is attributed to ancient Greek, Sufi, and Christian wisdom traditions and the Russian mystic Gurdjieff then further developed by contemporary teachers. It identifies nine Universal truths and their corresponding illusions. Each one of us sees life through one of these illusions and has the potential of transforming the illusion into the truth. Soul Journey Through the Enneagram will help your congregants discover their own illusion and explore their pathway to Truth. This is a fun, insightful, and transforming experience. Participants will gain great insight into their own life patterns and how to live more freely, and the group as a whole will learn to appreciate one another's perspectives and styles. These insights will bless participants individually and it will be a blessing to the spirit and community of your church!

"Nancy Clark is a dynamic and gifted seminar leader. She brings a wide range of knowledge and skills into her work and weaves these together in a way that is truly inspiring and transformational. Nancy is a gifted counselor, utilizing both intuitive and technical skills in a unique blend of mind and heart, she touches the soul of those she serves. I highly recommend her work."

"Rev. Nancy Clark is extremely knowledgeable about her subject matter and has done extensive research to gather the most meaningful information to support her goddess subject. She is a powerful speaker and yet sensitive to her audience…She uses various methods to convey her message and always comes from the highest place of integrity and spirituality. Our women had time to learn, reflect, play, pray, relax, and be in community together. Thanks to Nancy's guidance, we felt we were able to accomplish all our intentions."
Rev. Nancy Jerome, Senior Associate Minister,
Unity Church of Overland Park,

In the Spirit of the Goddess

More and more women are discovering the wonderful images and wisdom of the ancient goddess. But She is much more than a historical curiosity or a new age phenomena; She is the empowering feminine energy that can heal ourselves and our world when we truly embody her Essence. We become whole as we reclaim Her freedom of emotion and expression as our own freedom to feel and be our true selves. When we honor and celebrate her body, we can honor and celebrate our own bodies. The goddess is not just a mystical metaphor for the divine, she is the earthy, sensuous, fully alive spirit within all women!

In The Spirit of the Goddess invites women to really experience their connection to the divine feminine in body, mind, and spirit. In 1928, Charles Fillmore said 'Now is the time to restore the Divine Feminine, the Holy Mother' so let's do it! This women's retreat includes a variety of activities and information that will appeal to women both new and experienced in goddess studies. Slides of ancient goddesses from all around the world will set the stage for this exciting retreat. Then physical activities, creative expression, guided meditations, and story telling, drumming and bon fire dancing will help participants to embody and experience the goddess within. It's an opportunity for deep awakening for women as they connect with their divine heritage and discover this empowered goddess within! I have traveled extensively to study goddess sites all around Europe and the middle east, including Greece, Malta, Turkey, Italy, Egypt, Israel, and more. I bring a first hand knowledge and passion for the land, teachings, and presence of the goddess past and present.
