Spirit - Retreat - Pilgrimage - Life

For fullness of life, we need fullness of Spirit, to refresh our spirit we need to take time to focus. We can do this in person in places that speak to our inner most being, we can also experience spirit where we are. Our goal at Umbrian Spirit is offer retreats that we have established, we can also design retreats/pilgrimages to Umbria to suit specific groups, or if your need is to stay closer to home, please utilize our blogs as a gift of virtual retreat.

Waking up to Frost

It is a beautiful sunrise here in Piegaro, the sun glowing pink on the hills across the valley. 
This means it is time to really get up, really get going.
A time to walk and enjoy the beauty of the day, each day is a gift just waiting to be opened.
Time to push away from machines, from mirrors and venture out.

Time for another adventure in life, another day of living, another day of being.
Time to hear new voices, learn new words, ask new questions.
A day to ponder, wonder and drink in all the possibilities of a day met with glorious sunshine,
which also hides a bitter cold, a cutting cold, and reminds one that each day has glory and chill.

What does today hold?  What can be known?
Only that which we expose ourselves to when walking outside the walls.
To move into the sunshine on the hillsides, to cut the glare, yet absorb the heat.
To find that which will warm our soul, while being present to the truth of the chill.
