Greetings, Sacred Path Community,
We’re better
than halfway through summer and two-and-a-half months from the 25th Anniversary
Sacred Path Men’s Retreat. Time flies
and there’s so much to attend to with seemingly little time to do it. Take a deep breath, drop your shoulders and
give yourself a few minutes to just relax and enjoy breathing in some invigorating, revitalizing
energy. I recommend periodic 3-minute breathing
breaks where you take 20 connected breaths.
The benefits are immediate.
In this
newsletter you’ll find what two of the men, Dan Stanton and Phil Jennings, had
to say about their experience at the Sundance Ceremony on the Pineridge, Lakota
Sioux Reservation in South Dakota in early July. You can also read a blog post on the Yoga of
golf written by a friend of mine, Dr. David Surrenda, CEO of Kripalu Center for
Yoga and Health. Dr. Jed Diamond, a
long-time friend and colleague, is launching a campaign to save a million men’s
lives. Read what Jed has to say about
the program and his latest book.
As an update,
I’ve been buttoning up the last details of my new book, The Sacred
Path: The Way of the Spiritual Warrior,
byline: Journey to Mindful Manhood.
It will be in print by October.
Every participant that registers for the upcoming Sacred Path Retreat,
October 18-21 will receive a copy. I
anticipate that the book may be available weeks before the retreat so if you
register early you’ll probably be able to get your copy in advance so that you
can start reading. I’ve invited some men
to attend the retreat and to present information that they have been working on
that can be most helpful to you.
We’re gearing up
for a moving and memorable experience when we gather together to celebrate 25
years of service to the Sacred Path community.
It will be a reunion and many men who have attended throughout the years
will be onboard to commemorate our quarter century of good work. I would like to have 100 men convening for
this milestone event. I am personally
inviting you to be one of them and extending an open invitation from the Wisdom
Council for you to join us. This is a
great opportunity to invite a friend, a relative, or simply a man-in-need to
attend.
We’re
considering a pre-retreat event gathering in September. This would be an opportunity for you to bring
someone who is considering attending the retreat but who needs a little more
information and a personal experience of who we are and what he’ll likely
experience on the mountain in October.
We’ll provide more information about this event soon. But for now, I encourage you to use the link
to complete the pre-registration information and to commence the retreat
experience. It gets under way once you
commit. If you’ve already made the decision to attend, please
pre-register now to reserve your spot.
It makes it easier for us when we don’t have to contend with a deluge of
11th hour registrations.
In the spirit of brotherhood,
Stephen
