We invite you to gather for a week of "Living in Harmony as Sisters and
Brothers" at a special retreat in the Barn Abbey Conference Center in New Harmony, Indiana.
We will depart from St. Louis, MO on Monday morning, June 15, and gather in New Harmony, IN (about 3 1/2
hours east, just across the Indiana border off Highway 64) at 4:00 p.m. on Monday June 15. We will
depart on the afternoon of June 19, and return to St. Louis for the 15th annual HEARTLAND IN
HARMONY celebration under the Arch at 8:00 a.m. on June 21.
NEW HARMONY, INDIANA is a spiritual center and small town on the Wabash River, site of two intentional
communities in the 1800's, home to our inspiring and memorable Paneurhythmy Retreat with Maria
Mitovska some years ago -- and now -- We invite you to be part of a week of sharing and exploration,
of practicing the methods and exploring the teaching of the Master Peter Deunov (Beinsa Douno), in the
lovely setting of the Barn Abbey Retreat Center in New Harmony!
The program will include meeting the sunrise, prayers, songs, exercises, reading from the lectures,
sharing, and of course daily Paneurhythmy in the Roofless Church! Our focus is on the
experience of our life together -- practical, mystical, inspirational!
There will also be time to explore the historical buildings from the 1800's -- several tours are available
-- and to contemplate the history of this unique location. There will be time to experience the unique
spiritual gifts here -- the meditation walk around the pond, the grove of trees where the great theologian
Paul Tillich is buried, the granite and marble labyrinth which is an exact reproduction of the one in Chartres
Cathedral -- and other delightful surprises. There will be time to experience the woods and fields,
the river and the surrounding nature. There will be time to grow together as sisters and brothers,
to experience and share the transformational power of the methods and teaching given by Beinsa Douno!
Each day, a different person will guide the prayers and hold the group consciousness. Each day, two or
three people will share the preparation and presentation of the food. We model this on our experience
in the Brotherhood camp in the Rila Mountains.
The cost for room, food and other expenses will be $390. We intend to keep cost to a minimum, and will
likely refund a portion of this amount to those who attend the entire week. The Barn Abbey is an air-conditioned,
world-class conference center, and we are required to pay for a minimum of 15 people at $30 per night.
Also, we must bring food, as the nearest grocery store is @ an hour away! So this invitation brings
quite a commitment with it. We urge you to let us know as soon as possible if you are considering
attending, and to confirm with a $100 minimum deposit. We are looking forward to gathering with friends
from Canada, Florida, California and New England; as well as throughout the midwest. We are especially
honored that Ardella Nathanael will be joining us for the first time in several years. In addition, we
have extended an invitation to the larger spiritual community to join us. This is a rare opportunity
to stay in the Barn Abbey and enjoy and explore the Beautiful New Harmony Labyrinth. There are a limited
number of places available on a daily basis. The cost will be $100/day. Those interested must
contact us right away. Also, we invite you to "meet us in St. Louis" for the HEARTLAND IN HARMONY
gathering under the Arch on June 21.
