Without haste, with care and attention, we will sing, pray, walk and listen our way into the geography of our own inner quiet. As a community of like-hearted people with a tremendous pool of wisdom, curiosity, experience and compassion, we will join together for fruitful reflection, nourishment and play. Seek first the mystery of small things, said Jesus, and be not afraid. If we take time to hold one another in remembrance of this, we may find that everything we need to heal ourselves and the world is already in our hand. When we align with our deepest nature, we are quickly renewed and refreshed.
Many kindnesses are small and quiet.
We believe that our personal healing comes to full flower through the healing of the larger community to which we all belong. Bread for the Journey supports the ideas, talents and commitment of local people through health, education and community-based projects that are simple, quick and helpful. St. John's College is an intimate, beautiful campus, cradled in the foothills behind Santa Fe. The campus has excellent accommodations, superb dining facilities, a bookstore and a late-night coffee house. Tennis courts, a running track and numerous hiking trails combine to make this retreat location pleasant and comfortable.
