Other retreat topics include Spiritual Peace, Creativity, Celtic Spirituality and even "The Art of Holy Dying," the topic of her book, Living Well & Dying Well. An audio book published in Summer 2008 presents the classic from Esther de Wall, The Celtic Way of Prayer, in a beautiful oral interpretation performed by MaryEllen.
