"Silence, Prayer, Meditation and Contemplation blend into each other harmoniously." -Flower A. Newhouse

Finding Your True North

Ways Into God's Presence

Finding and expressing your spirituality is a creative walk that you must discover for yourself. It begins with a desire to know God. It requires you to let go of self and to be a channel of God's love, guidance and Truth. This takes training and patience as you awaken to the Divine potential within you. Each of us has much to learn this lifetime. Are you ready for such an adventure?

Introducing "Finding Your True North" - a new training program including a comprehensive resource kit to help sincere seekers discover new Ways into God's Presence.

Finding Your True North was introduced during a Sunday talk by Rev. Blake Isaac. A recording of this talk is available below.

Resource Kit

The Resource Kit includes the following content:

3 CDs of Flower A. Newhouse (The Way to the Within, The Practice of Meditation, Life Rules)

2 Books by Flower A. Newhouse (Gateways Into Light, Ways Into God's Presence)

6 Information Sheets to clarify and support your study (Seven Bodies, Life Rules, etc.)

Over 60 Activity Cards on a compass keychain to deepen your awareness (Silence, Prayer, Meditation, Contemplation, Previsioning, Remembrance, World Treatment)

What follows in this kit are insights, practices, meditations and prayers that Flower A. Newhouse, a Christian Mystic, taught to help bring one more deeply into the Presence of God. By exploring her techniques and methods, you will be able to find footholds and support for your spiritual efforts.

Flower dedicated her life to awakening humanity to the need to realize the immediacy of God in our lives, the purpose of life and the importance of Christ in the evolution of humanity. Her insights into the inner realms of life provide us with a path to wholeness that she called "Living the Life." These principles are not doctrine, but a practical guide to the direct, immediate experience of God.

This kit offers a multitude of Ways to come into the Presence. And as Flower says, "Silence, Prayer, Meditation and Contemplation blend into each other harmoniously. We do not think, 'Now I am going to stop praying and begin meditating.' Like an artist painting a picture, we dip our brush into a new color and add its tone to the total effect we are striving to create."

Remember this is a journey and this kit is a resource along the way to help us always find our true north—vertically aligned with God.

Questhaven Retreat is the home of The Christward Ministry. Spiritual seekers from around the world come year-round to this coastal wilderness near San Diego for worship, study and renewal. Mystical and esoteric interpretations of Christianity form the basis of this work. Sunday Services 10:45am.
