Retreat


No, this does not mean "go forward in a reverse Direction..."

Ever since Highschool, I have been gifted with a vision, a sense of life direction. This vision has led me to the idea of a retreat center. Let me tell you about it, and then, before you explode, I'll tell how and why I got here.

Modern Ghost Stories in and around Regis

I grew up around Regis High School and College in Denver. My father taught there. Still does. All of my siblings were associated with Regis in one way or another. There is a culture there. Now, cultures do not survive without their stories. This particular place has a rich spiritual history. The buildings have been there for over a century. The top two floors of the Adminstration Building are sealed off and condemned. That building was formerly a dorm and boarding school, all male. There is a lot of history there. And now the stories are not being told, the ghosts that haunt those halls fade, and the students lose a sense of where that are. What is a college campus without it's ghosts?

Impromptu Stories

As a companion work to the Ghost Stories, there are a series of stories that I have told just because. Some of them have morals, some of them do not. All of them start in one of two ways: Long, long ago.... or Once upon a time.... These stories are my own fairy tales. They build my culture. I am of Norse and German and Irish descent, but I am a native of Colorado. I don't have stories pasted down from grandparent to child for generations. So, now, I tell my own. By telling the stories I create the culture that would be from. The stories shape the reality in which we live. What could be more powerful?
