About this Retreat

You have a purpose.
This is where you find it.

Many people feel something is missing — a deeper meaning, a reason to wake up with joy. Whether you feel disconnected, stuck, or simply ready for something more, this intimate four-day retreat on Cape Cod offers the tools, community, and sacred space to discover what living on purpose truly means for you.

Purpose isn't only about what you do — it's about who you are. Together we'll move through seven experiential sessions weaving meditation, self-inquiry, energy work, and practical tools into a journey of genuine transformation.

Seekers

Beginning your journey and wanting a compass for the path ahead.

Those at a Crossroads

Ready to discover what truly lights you up and stop settling.

Seeking Empowerment

Done drifting — ready to reclaim your voice and live with intention.

Retired & Reinventing

A new chapter is beginning. Let's write it with purpose and joy.

What We'll Explore

Seven transformative sessions

Each session builds on the last — from knowing yourself to living your purpose in a complex world.

1

Setting Your Intent

We open with a guided meditation to ground and center. You'll clarify and commit to what you most want from this retreat — and write it down. This intention becomes your compass for everything that follows.

2

Who Am I?

A deep dive into identity — not the labels we carry, but the living, breathing self beneath them. Through partner exercises and reflection drawn from the APOL framework, we explore how we present ourselves to the world and what we truly value.

3

What do I believe?

Building on previous sessions, we turn toward self-awareness — examining our beliefs about purpose, identity, and what we're here to do. Using tools from the APOL teachings, we explore what we believe and why, and begin to distinguish the stories we tell ourselves from the truth of who we are.

4

Art of Happiness, Peace, Joy & The Soul's Energy

What does happiness actually feel like — in your body, not just your mind? Through meditation and experiential exercises, we learn to recognize and cultivate the soul's natural state of joy, peace, and aliveness, so we can find our way back to it no matter what life brings.

5

Opening the Flow — Neuroplasticity & Self-Discipline

We identify the thought patterns that block our energy — the habits of overwhelm, frustration, and distraction — and learn practical tools to reprogram them. Drawing on how our minds actually work, we explore accountability practices, and daily exercise that keep you living in your purpose.

6

Holding Your Energy in a Chaotic World

How do we stay grounded in love and purpose when the world feels turbulent? We explore energy grounding, physical anchoring practices, and how to respond — rather than react — to difficult events. We'll close with a group sending of healing energy to a place or situation of our choosing.

7

Healing Ceremony & Closing

Our closing ceremony integrates all that we've explored — a healing circle to seal your intentions, honor your journey, and send you home grounded, clear, and ready to live your purpose.

Meet Your Team

Living a Purpose-filled Life was created for you by Darren and Patricia.

Since February of 2009, they have studied together in class, been on the Team that organizes and facilitates A Place of Light's activities, and/or taught classes at the center or in retreats.

Patricia describes what she has learned as changing her world from black and white to vivid color and sound. Darren describes it as seeing the world through a different lens.

Now they have put together their many years of study and practice at A Place of Light and other places to bring you insight on how to live a life with your purpose. Everything they offer you is what they practice themselves.

Here is what people have to say about them from past retreats:

Great teaching and group discussion!
Every class is an eye-opener for me. A self-discovery journey.
Powerful spiritual time. It went down into my heart.
The exercises were very eye-opening and relatable to what we were talking about.
This retreat was life-changing, and I am so grateful to have participated. I learned a lot about myself, and I will use what I've learned.
So filled with love.

Sign up today to have the experience of skilled facilitators who care about you and how you create your life story.
