Matthew has been creating, writing, and leading retreats for almost twenty years in the US, Europe, and South America, in a variety of spiritual traditions. For him, retreats are a part of the general flow of life and are a way in which we heal, move forward, grow and deepen our daily experience of life. He owns and operates his own private retreat center, White Cloud House, located in northeastern Kansas (www.whitecloudhouse.com). In addition to publishing a unique series of personal retreat books, he enjoys working with individuals and small groups as a Life, Business, & Relationship Coach.
