High Hope
A place for retreat dedicated to one’s inner Sanctuary
"Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good." -Vaclav Havel
"For as you grow in grace, in knowledge, in understanding,
you may apply that wisdom which has been thy heritage." -Edgar Cayce
High Hope lands welcome you. This sanctuary is being organically grown as a place for retreat, connection and discovery. She is a place that beckons, nourishes and inspires.
Today, the forested hillsides, lush pastures and overhang caves still speak of their ancient past, the seas of 65 million years ago. Surround yourself in the forever views from her high rims. Immerse yourself in the body of her interweaving trails. Renew yourself in the quiet of her contemplative sitting areas. We invite you to engage and enrich your spirit by surrendering to your own sense of inquiry and discovery. Intimate and spacious, High Hope’s selective programs provide opportunities for personal and organizational learning and development through experiential retreats for the exploration of self with others. Consider seminal questions, share in the fields of inquiry, fine tune and learn of new ways and old practices, listen to the pulse of your true Nature.
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." -George Carlin
Observe and consider Nature in relation to self and other. And, in so doing, the nature of existence is revealed. Allow the world of Nature to be your mirror, opening to direct means of receiving and perceiving. Discover your own Human Nature in relation to the Cosmos. Rediscover your freedom from cultural myths and beliefs to instill a faith in your own guidance, your direct sense of knowing.
"To become human, one must make room in oneself for the wonders of the universe." - South American Indian saying
Our bodies are the conscious vehicles for the Truth. Cultivate a mood of dignity and devotion. Gain entrance into the deeper aspects of yourself. Invoke and evoke admiration and respect for yourselves and others. Upgrade your ability to feel connection with the entire Universe.
"For those who are awake, the Cosmos is One." -Heraclitus
Ground into the Divine. Remember your Spirit self. Meet your next edge of learning.
Explore, wander with wonder and take in High Hope’s magic and beauty. Make new earth-bound spiritual connections while you are on these lands. May your time here be full of learning and self-discovery. We wish for you, well being and inner peace.
"We must draw our standards from the natural world. We must honor with the humility of the wise the bounds of that natural world and the mystery which lies beyond them admitting that there is something in the order of being which evidently exceeds all our competence." -Vaclav Havel, president of the Czech Republic
