BELLS: Awakening the Mindful Spirit
Bells have long been a sacred signal of God’s voice—a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. Their sound breaks through mindlessness and lethargy, awakening us like a herald or wake-up call that draws our attention back to spiritual awareness and restores order amid chaos.
In our fast-paced, digitally saturated world, this retreat is offered as an intentional stepping away from daily routines in order to prioritize peace of mind and heart. We are not seeking to escape these realities, but to enter a quiet, sacred pause—a spiritual oasis in the desert—where we can unplug from constant noise, release mental and emotional overprocessing, and become attentive to the living presence of God.
Am I soul-conscious today?
Is God alive and active in my life?
Can I listen for the bells of the Spirit, calling me to awaken?
