Dr. Kevin J. Fleming, President/CEO of Grey Matters International,a unique "thinking" company designed to awaken the truest of spiritualities underneath our decision making, our relationships, and ultimately our life's goals, can customize the brain's truths to ANY spiritual, religious or self-growth oriented retreat. It is easy to feel good at a retreat; harder to be transformed with rare gems of wisdom that will change your life. Trained as a
- Neuropsychologist
- Spiritual advisor
- Life/Executive Coach for the high profile clientele

...the brain and behavior change information here will enhance information of any spiritual or faith denomination, for underneath it all there will always be a common denominator: a human being, a brain, and a decision. How do these three interact amidst self-growth and spiritually charged realms? What are illusions and what is true? Can we know reliably the difference?
Finally, an ideologically-free way to discern fact from fiction without invoking human resistance and defensiveness.
If you think about it, can you experience God without your brain or your heart? And what type of communication system goes on between these two that can enhance or detract from the quality of your life's decisions or relationships?
A worldclass facilitator who has written with Deepak Chopra, Stephen Covey and others, he has worked with church groups, dioceses, Hollywood clientele, and organizations across the globe. A three time Notre Dame graduate, Dr. Fleming integrates solid spiritual rigor with humorous and deep insights that create a transformative experience full of "practical wisdom" typically not experienced in retreats.

Pat is a certified spiritual director and retreat leader who marvels at the profound love our God has for each of Her/His creations. He is a graduate of the Ignatian Spirituality Institute at John Carroll University and is completing his MA in Pastoral Ministry at Boston College in 2008.
Pat is thankful for the impact the Spiritual Exercises have had on his life since he silently celebrated his 20th birthday while making the 30-day retreat in 1974. He has led retreats and discernment workshops for a wide variety of church and social service organizations. He is married to Jeannie Cleary-Burns and lives in South Euclid, Ohio.
He is directing retreats focused on discernment this summer (2009):
Changing jobs? Moving? Graduating? Turning 30, 40, 50 or 60? Retiring? Feeling called to action, but not sure where to go? We all face many times of transition in life. They are often bewildering.
This might be the time that you will benefit from a discernment retreat. You may not come away from the retreat with a clear answer to your dilemma, but you will leave it confident in the love and guidance of the Holy Spirit and with a clearer sense of the next steps you need to take.
Discernment is a gift of wisdom that has been passed down by the holy women and men who came before us. Practicing discernment helps us open our hearts to watch and listen for the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
A Directed Retreat provides an ideal setting for discernment. It gives us the time to find the quiet places of our heart. Pat will serve as a director on individually directed retreats at four retreat houses around the country this summer.
- June 22-27 - Richmond Hill, Richmond VA
- July 5-12 - Jesuit Retreat House, Parma OH
- July 17-24 - Pecos Benedictine Monastery, Pecos NM
- August (date to be determined) - Loyola of the Lakes Retreat Center, Clinton OH

 Assistance for Camp & Retreat Directors
If you run a camp or Retreat center I would be very happy to set up and run sound, lights, power point, easy worship and more for you or your guest at your camp.
I will do this as unto the Lord so as long as I have enough money for the gas to your facility and a place to sleep (if its more then one day) there is no extra charge, only what God will put on someone's heart to give.
This is a call from God on me and I am willing to help in any way if possible. We have a 24 channel sound system with mikes, wireless mikes, recording and much more that travels well. I also have a lighting system that will cover most stages and alters, it consist of 2 light towers with up to 1200 watts of light on each tower, color effects and a 24 channel light console. I can even set up a power point show or easy worship on my laptop and I do have a projector, if needed.
I am not a DJ’s but I can play music through the system.
I do not rent or lend out the equipment.
I hope to visit your camp or retreat center. God Bless
