Retreat To Refresh the Spirit
The New Harmony Inn in New Harmony, Indiana is my treasured oasis — one of my favorite places for a retreat. It has comfortable lodgings and a gourmet restaurant, natural landscapes with walking paths, sculptures, and plenty of places to sit and reflect, read or pray.
Long walks by the river offer all kinds of surprises. This purple fallen bloom was lying next to a crack in the wet sand along the river. The pulsating life of the river was trying to push through the sand. It was a misty, magical morning.

Thanksgiving Tree 2012
Our hospital Music Therapy department and Pastoral Care team joined together to create a Thanksgiving experience for staff and patients. A professional cellist offered deep resonate tones of music through the main entrance hall for an hour two days before Thanksgiving, while the scent of cinnamon, lemon, ginger and honey filled the air. After the musical event, the Thanksgiving Tree was moved to a special table outside the Chapel. Branches and die-cut leaves gave people the opportunity to create a Thanksgiving Tree filled with their intentions. By Thanksgiving day, the branches were covered with expressions of gratitude, prayers, memories, anticipation.
