This contemplative retreat will provide a supportive environment to explore and engage contemplative spiritual practices. There will be time for both silence and solitude and time for community and conversations. Participants will have the opportunity to connect with God through centering prayer, guided journaling, silence and solitude, spiritual direction, guided prayer, nature walks, gentle yoga, scripture reading, and Lauds and Vespers prayed with the Benedictine Sisters. Sessions and conversations will give special attention to the practice of contemplation and the corresponding awakening to and embodiment of one’s true self.
