Annual Winter Retreat at Zion National Park

December 5-8, 2008 - Utah

This retreat is held each year on the first weekend in December, amidst the beauty of Zion National Park's imposing rocks in Southern Utah, in the Lodge at Zion National Park.

This three-and-a-half day event is designed to allow all the participants sacred time with themselves, with nature, and with their all-inspiring Spirit. Here, away from the demands of "regular life," Bill Bauman leads each person to a gentle discovery of Life's bigger truths. Participants are invited to learn, to listen, and to experience Nature's inspiration as they are led into fuller awareness of and involvement in the beauty of their lives.

Sessions are led by Dr. Bill Bauman. He is assisted by a Native American woman who brings to participants a greater understanding of the ways of the Native peoples, their relationship to the earth, and to themselves.

This retreat is an opportunity for learning about self, and a unique opportunity to have Nature become a most powerful teacher and source of inspiration.

Registration opens June 1, 2008. For further information or to register, contact Elinor Hall by email or phone (435) 656-2783.
