"Take a long, loving look at the real." ~Walter Burghardt

GIM Retreats were developed in 1982 by Sr. Joan King, OP, a Dominican Sister of San Rafael, and are sponsored by the Personal Growth Project, which operates as a collaborative effort of lay and religious women of different traditions and congregations. GIM offers retreats for anyone seeking new possibilities for spiritual growth, using music and an atmosphere of silence to gently guide participants into the inner landscape of the soul.
