FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Will there be food provided?
A: Yes, there will be light snacks and drinks (coffee and tea) available all day. You may wish to bring any other preferred beverage and/or water bottle. A noon lunch will be served, with the option to accommodate people with special dietary needs.

Q2: Will silence be a part of the day?
A: Yes, part of the day will be embraced by internal and external silence. However, there will also be ample time for conversation with other retreatants.

Q3: Can I attend only part of the day?
A: Yes. We encourage people to attend the whole event; however, if you can only come for the morning or afternoon, you are welcome to do so.

Q4: Will I be expected to share many details of my life?
A: No. There will be time for introductions with other group members, but not extensive sharing. If extended sharing is desired, there will be opportunities to meet one-on-one with one of the leaders.

Q5: Is Westminster handicap accessible?
A: Yes. While there are several levels withing the building, each can be accessed by an elevator in addition to the stairs. However, most of our activities will be on the main level.

A: Yes. Indoors, stained glass surrounds the sanctuary, and could provide a quiet time of reflection on the beauty of its art. Outdoors, the tree-lined grounds surround a space to commune in nature…weather permitting.
