Greetings!
Every month we vow to keep our newsletter brief because we know everyone gets way too much e-mail every day. But each month we have so much to share with you. Our offerings are as variable as the Massachusetts weather has been the last few weeks, so you are sure to find something that is just the perfect thing for where YOUR spiritual journey is taking you right now.
Come see us soon. The door is always open for you.

MERRY'S MUSINGS:
| |
Sing Your Song
I recently completed the Integrated Reiki Level 1, 2, 3, and Master classes with Evoking Alchemy's Margaret Thompson and M'liss Calzaretta (an awesome experience and even more awesome duo of incredible trainers and amazing human beings, by the way.) We are so fortunate to be able to offer their premier training here at The Gathering Inn.
During the course of training, we heard a lot about "coming into the full expression of who we are intended to be". That thought has been worming its way down into my inner being and I wonder just how full an expression of my unique divine intention and purpose I truly am.
It is my personal belief that we are all here for a reason. Our lives are not just some random result of the biology of our parents. Whether you believe that we only pass through this human experience once or that we are "recycled" or "re-purposed" souls who come from the world of spirit to experience life many times... either way, we are here for a purpose.

| "Girls Rock!" Retreat | |
 August 3-4
For Mothers/Daughters/Granddaughters
Facilitated by Merry Cole
It is so important for the generations of women to spend time together, to share their stories, their wisdom, their innocence, and their hopes and dreams. In today's fast paced, action-oriented life, we don't often get off the gerbil wheel of busyness and really be present to our young women and just have "girl time" fun.
We have packed this overnight retreat with:
- CRAFTS
- YOGA
- MUSIC
- BELLY DANCING
- STORY TELLING
- MAKING NATURAL FACIAL SCRUBS
- OUTDOOR FUN
- CAMPFIRES
- S'MORES
- STAR GAZING
This retreat is open to Mothers and Daughters (or Granddaughters) who are in Fourth Grade through Twelfth Grade. We will have age appropriate activities.
An optional end to the weekend will be participation in a multi-generational Red Tent meeting Sunday from 1-4 PM.
Cost: $75 per person; family maximum $200
Space is limited. Registration deadline is July 13th.
