The DeKoven Center, while only about an hour and a half away from the south side of Chicago, seems to enable a complete escape from reality. It is a wonderful old building that reeks of warmth and comfort. The grounds of the center are covered with big beautiful trees, walking paths, and small meditation areas. If being near water is your thing, Lake Michigan is right across the street where you can sit on one of the benches and gaze endlessly at the water. The groups of people that have joined us in the past are, of course, the best part of all. Sharing stories, laughter and even quiet moments around the bon-fire, brings joy and a centering of the soul to the weekend.

Throughout the Retreat John and Valerie will be presenting The Enough Love Workshop. Amidst the inspirational warmth of the DeKoven Center, we will explore the short comings of mind looking into one of man's greatest fears... that he/she is not enough. The class is designed to open your heart and your energy from the inside out as you uncover the joy, mystery, and beauty contained within yourself. It will bring insight to the power you have within you, awareness to feelings of inner peace, and realization in knowing that only by opening to your own truth can you bring enough love into your life to truly heal.

Come out early if you can and wander these amazing grounds, sit by the lake, or just relax in your room. This will be a great opportunity to start your journey within for the Fall and Winter.

Basic Itinerary (please be flexible - this can change based on everyone's needs):

Accommodations: See the DeKoven Center
* The DeKoven Center, having begun its life as Racine College, has guest rooms that are very similar to Dormitory Rooms ~ except with charm!   Very cute rooms with old dark woodwork throughout the building will give you the sense of history and comfort.

* Meals are served banquet style and we usually get to sit all together at a large table ~ very family like!
