What we have been seeking externally to fulfill us lies deep within our very self. It is the Creative Silence that supports and enriches all aspects of our life. It is the balance of Silence and activity. We all want to have lasting love, happiness and security in the world of constant change as well as a sense of connection to a greater whole that is purposeful, compassionate and all satisfying. This is not only possible. It is what exists within hidden by the overshadowing focus on the externals of living life in these modern times.
Jerry conducts a series of "silent retreats" in which he teaches very simple yet profound techniques to enter the awareness of the Inner Self, the Essence of our very being, the blue print of our life's purpose and the home of love, peace, wisdom and joy of our unique Divinity. These retreats provide the transcendent experience of the God within and start the healing process enjoining the power, intelligence and fulfillment of the Inner Self with the outer expression. These retreat experiences are transformative events whose life-giving effects continue daily and last a lifetime. It perpetuates the unfolding of what we all have the potential to be.
The lecture part of the retreats encompasses the compassion and wisdom of the mystical tradition; the tradition of "the direct experience of God."
StillPoint Silent Retreats
Silence is the home of God in creation
StillPoint Silent Retreats are designed to give you the experience of your true Innermost Self. This experience spontaneously and naturally transforms us into who we have come (taken a life experience) to be, as well as the consciousness of who we truly are. It is an evolutionary expansion of our identity. It introduces us to the Inner State of Grace which is the home of Love, Peace, Wisdom and Joy. Along with this experience you will be given simple and effective tools to help maintain this precious inner state when you go back home and back out into daily life.

Blueprint of the Soul
The Map of the Soul's Evolutionary Journey from Matter to Spirit.
Our unique "plan" for growth and fulfillment can be revealed through an understanding of the forces in motion at the time of birth. Using the language and principles of astronomy, physics, mathematics and the spiritual archetypes of ancient astronomy we can describe a spiritual blueprint that is as precise in its way as our DNA. This requires a thorough understanding of the meaning of the position of the planets (mathematical points) within our solar system at the time of first breath. It is an expansion of Jung's principle of "synchronicity" in which the imprints and timing of various events are mirrored within and without.
As the mathematics of astronomy provides precision, the deep understanding of the relationships between these points in space gives us insight into what energies, cycles, and situations the soul has chosen for itself during a particular lifetime. It helps answer the three primary inquiries of life:
Who am I?
Where am I going?
How do I get there?
Mathematics is the words.
Meaning is the music.
Life is the "Song of the Soul."For more information go to www.greatpeace.net
