Jesus and Your Heart - Winter Retreat

“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” — Matthew 11:28-29

You are invited to embark on a journey of profound heart transformation, guided by the presence and teachings of Jesus. This retreat is not about intellectual understanding of Jesus’ teachings but about opening our hearts to their living, transformative power.

Be reborn in the heart of Jesus - Awakening the Heart through Jesus’ Example
“Father forgive them, they know not what they do.”

It was over 2000 years ago that Jesus lived on this earth and spoke of the Kingdom of God, and was condemned and finally crucified. Seemingly left alone by his loved ones, mocked by the crowds, he had to carry his cross himself to the place where he was to be crucified. And as he lay beaten on the cross, dying, his words were, “Father, forgive them they know not what they do.”
What stronger symbol of the true power of the heart can there be? What kind of heart can speak of forgiveness at such a moment? How could Jesus’ heart open, trusting and in love even in such a dark hour?

How quickly do we feel attacked when someone says something “wrong”? One wrong word can be enough and we contract. So how can we come into deeper contact with his supreme commandment to love our neighbor?

In this retreat, we see Jesus as the embodiment of the awakened heart, a living example of what is possible when our own hearts reach their fullest potential.

His heart is a mirror, reflecting back the condition of our own. Through reflection on his teachings, we will explore:

• What it means to truly forgive.

• How to cultivate an all-inclusive heart.

• How to release judgment and trust deeply.

This is a deeply personal and spiritual journey, one that invites us to move beyond understanding and to truly embody the teachings in our own lives.
