About this offering
Our time together will focus on cultivating our awareness of the Divine presence within us and within all
of Creation. We will explore our sacred journey toward unity, love, and higher awareness so as to align our
thoughts, actions, and intentions with the unconditional love and wisdom of Christ. This retreat invites us to
journey deeper into this higher form of awareness and will empower us to live from the mind and heart of
Christ, embracing our highest potential and radiating love in every action. We will explore the transformative
power of living from this sacred space in our daily life through silent and guided meditations, journaling,
personal integration sessions, interactive discussions and simple mindfulness methods. Please bring a journal
and pen.

Jalyn Merrick De Sunae The heart of Jalyn’s life work has been serving marginalized populations. She has cared
for the dying, imprisoned women, persons with mental illness at risk of incarceration, the elderly, and people
with disabilities. Jalyn is a contemplative poet whose writings are of the mystical realm of experience and have
been used for tribute, prayer, reflection and contemplation. Her poem ‘One’, which mirrors the Divine Feminine
in all, has been choreographed as a dance work. Her card line, “The Deeper Mystery, Messages from Love,”
breathes forth poetic messages of Love from The Divine Voice and Heart. Jalyn lives with her family in Connecticut.
