In 1974, Father William Meninger, a Trappist monk and retreat master at St. Josephs Abbey in Spencer, Mass. found a dusty little book in the abbey library, "The Cloud of Unknowing." As he read it he was delighted to discover that this anonymous 14th century book presented contemplative meditation as a teachable, spiritual process enabling the ordinary person to enter and receive a direct experience of union with God.
This form of meditation, recently known as 'Centering Prayer' (from a text of Thomas Merton) can be traced from and through the earliest centuries of Christianity. The Centering Prayer centers one on God.
Father Meninger takes a limited time each year from his silent monastic life to travel the world and teach contemplative prayer. His book, "The Loving Search For God" is an effort to bring the message of The Cloud of Unknowing
to men and women of the 21st Century. In 1974 he originated the workshop on Contemplative Meditation (later known as Centering Prayer) which he now teaches worldwide along with workshops on Forgiveness, the Enneagram, Sacred Scriptures, and Prayer. He leaves the monastery only 4 times each year to do this lest he lose his own monastic orientation while sharing it with others.
Curriculum Vitae: Ordained in 1958, after 8 years in St. John's Seminary, he was incardinated into the Diocese of Yakima, Washington. where he worked on an Indian Reservation and with Mexican traveling workers for 6 years. In 1963 he entered the Trappists at St. Joseph's Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts, where he served in the guest house for 15 years, taught Scripture, liturgy and patristics; served as subprior, prior and dean of the junior professed monks.
In 1979 he was transferred to a daughter house, St. Benedicts Monastery in Snowmass, Colorado, where he served as Prior, vocation director, novice master, and teacher of theology and scripture. He spent 3 years in Israel where he studied scripture and taught at the Center for Biblical Studies in Jerusalem and at the Trappist Monastery of Latroun.
He also did graduate studies at Seattle University, Harvard Divinity School, and Boston University.

TESTIMONIALS FROM TRUE LIFE COACHING RETREATS
On Retreat with Victoria, I learned what it feels like to give myself permission to put me #1 – in a gentle way that’s as essential as breathing.
- B.H., Durango, CO
My experience at Spa for the Soul was one of tremendous support, insight and community. The setting was nurturing in every detail. It reflected Victoria’s remarkable sensitivity to what truly nourishes our souls. While she directed and facilitated the many facets of the weekend, I found her to be completely present with each of us and masterful at hearing what we were seeking to express. I completed the weekend feeling very filled and very grateful.
- F.L., Eureka, MT
The Living from your Soul retreat for me was the ultimate launching pad for a personal soul journey. My mind was opened to an array of unique paths in which to explore and expand awareness of my place in this world. Blue Lake Ranch is a stunning, nurturing and still place to renew and seek. Victoria graciously created a truly sacred space that allowed each woman to search and free her soul in complete protection. The weekend was an invaluable experience that I treasure deep in my heart, and I recommend it to any woman regardless of beliefs or fears!
- J.E., Durango, CO

| One World Rhythm Harvest and the Magical Mystical Muse Experience are here to provide recreational music making opportunities for communities of all kinds. Our focus is on cultivating a safe and nurturing environment for self-expression, community and personal healing, communication, and transformational work through the expressive arts of drumming, dancing, singing, and music making. We use music making as an awareness practice of self and group dynamics and exploring ways of being empowered individually while also supporting the empowerment of others and the integrity of the group. |
