SUMMARY:Directed Silent Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Spiritual direction or spiritual companionship is a process guided by the Holy Spirit in which two people enter into a unique conversation. The spiritual director or guide is trained to listen in a particular way to hear where God is present and acting in the life of another. This “holy listening” approaches each person’s life and story as sacred. \nPlease see the link below for more information and to register (scroll down for the desired event).

SUMMARY:6-Day Contemplative Retreat
DESCRIPTION:“Here\, in this unforeseen defencelessness\, is granted the contemplative experience… that the present moment\, just the way it is\, is already\, in its deepest actuality\, the fullness of union with God we seek.”\n– James Finley \nThrough the practice of Centering Prayer\, we open ourselves to the ongoing process of transformation—within ourselves and in our relationships with others and with all of Creation. \nAs we remain faithful to this practice\, a compassionate way of seeing and being begins to unfold. It creates space for the soul’s natural sense of awe and wonder to be rekindled\, allowing us to experience creation with renewed reverence. \nThis retreat offers a rhythm of deepening silence and spiritual nourishment\, including: \nTwo daily input sessions exploring themes of silence\, contemplation\, the Centering Prayer method\, and the transformative journey.\nMultiple guided Centering Prayer periods each day.\nOpportunities for soul companionship\, if desired.\nPersonal time for reflection\, journaling\, walking in nature\, and rest. \nIt is recommended that: Participants have attended at least one weekend retreat in silence and have a regular practice of Centering Prayer. \nPlease see the link below for more information and to register.
