SUMMARY:Contemplative Retreat: Five or Eight-Day Centering Prayer
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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. \nFive-day Retreat $335 $415 $750\nEight-day Retreat $475 $725 $1\,200

SUMMARY:4-Day Contemplative Retreat
DESCRIPTION:“In moments when we simply surrender all to God in contemplation\, God becomes the actor who acts through us. God becomes the writer of our lives\, and we become the pencil with which God writes a love letter to the world.”\n– Adam Bucko \nSharing silent prayer with others in the context of a retreat is a profound source of soul connection with other practitioners and with all living beings. The retreat aims to nurture the soul’s thirst for intimacy with God\, fostering the path of transformation through contemplation and inner and outer silence. \nThe retreat will be in silence and will include two (daily) input sessions to deepen the Centering Prayer method and reflect on the contemplative journey; various periods of Centering Prayer each day; opportunity for soul companionship; and personal time for reflection and journaling. \nRequirement: to have attended a weekend Centering Prayer retreat or the one-day introductory workshop on Centering Prayer and have some level of ongoing practice. \nPlease see the link below to register.
