Contemplative Retreat: Five or Eight-Day Centering Prayer

Centering Prayer is a form of Christian silent meditation rooted in the self-emptying love that forms the heart of Jesus’ teaching and life. This retreat is an opportunity to deepen one’s contemplative journey in the contemporary world. The retreat offers two tracks: a five-day track, recommended for individuals with an established and regular practice of Centering Prayer, and an eight-day track, intended for those who have maintained a regular practice of Centering Prayer and previously participated in an intensive retreat. The intensive and post-intensive tracks are available for both the five-day and eight-day retreats.

This retreat offers a sacred rhythm of silence, solitude, and prayer, with opportunities to join the Benedictine Sisters for Mass and optional prayer times. Afternoons provided space for walking in nature and engaging in soul friending with retreat facilitators. Designed to cultivate deep interior silence, the retreat nurtures and awareness of God’s presence in everyday life. A Korean language track is available for the five-day retreat, making this a welcoming and accessible space for Korean-speaking participants to engage fully in the retreat experience.
