Retreats serve as a nucleus for
the gathering together of souls
throughout the planet that need
awakenment, healing, quickening,
enlightenment, and training
for service to mankind. There is
nothing to compare with what
retreats can do, spiritually, if they are completely
highly and rightly motivated. We should seek them
as we seek the word of God, and travel to them with
purpose, for within their boundaries there will be a
different atmosphere, discernible to the perceptive
and the responsive, flexible, and teachable.
–Rev. Flower A. Newhouse, Co-founder
