About our Previous Events:

The Path of Consciousness is a spiritual and writing community that offers inspiration and rejuvenation. Enhance your personal, business, and writing life with the help of various ancient sacred and creative teachings. It’s close enough to drive to and far away enough to find peace, spiritual growth, and writing time at an affordable price. Join us for the one-day conference or stay for the three-day retreat. Meals and refreshments are available, as well as overnight accommodations for those who attend the retreat.

Attendees enjoy workshops, classes, and guided meditations. Join us for nature walks, writing classes, gentle yoga, a gong ceremony, a fire ceremony, and walk the labyrinth. Self-care options will be available so that guests may schedule time for a massage or healing session. Writers may use one of our special writing rooms to connect with other authors or to schedule one-on-one time with a writing mentor. Head outdoors and enjoy the beautiful grounds at Colombiere Conference and Retreat Center.

Colombiere Conference & Retreat Center is nestled on 420 rolling acres of mature pines and hardwoods in Clarkston, Michigan. Located right off I-75, we are less than an hour drive from Detroit, Flint or Lansing. Visit www.colombiere.com for details.

The Path of Consciousness is an idea born from a little spiritual hideaway in the Riviera Maya, Mexico where shamans perform a Mayan ceremony using a Temazcal steam bath. This relaxing mystical old-age rite is good for the soul and mixes a spiritual journey with an encounter with the basic elements of our planet: water, fire, earth, and wind.

Similarly to the Temazcal steam bath in the Riviera Maya, this community is about reconnecting to our inner power, healing and transforming ourselves, and creating a better world for our families and communities.

A number of medical schools such as Columbia University now have Narrative Medicine master’s program, recognizing the power that practices such as the art of storytelling provides for people to heal and grow.
