WOMEN’S RETREAT

A silent retreat is a great way to withdraw from the world's busyness and spend time being refueled by Christ. During the silent retreat, you will have opportunities to participate in various liturgies, with a few talks interspersed throughout. Most of the time, however, is spent in silent contemplation. Retreatants are encouraged to spend some time each day in prayer and a significant amount of time in holy leisure (e.g., walks, sewing, painting, reading). The talks are designed to help open up your prayer experience. Individuals trained in spiritual accompaniment will be available to talk through what is happening in your prayer while on retreat. Retreatants will take meals together and listen to something together while they enjoy meals. The last day, everyone breaks the silence before the final breakfast and can talk to each other about what has been unfolding. Incredible bonds are often formed on these weekends, even though few words are exchanged.
