Retreats are a few days away from daily activities and noises. They help us to pause, be more in tune with ourselves, and reserve time to hear God's voice. Retreats offer a longer time than Quiet Days as it can take some time to quiet down from the busyness of our lives in order to be able to connect with ourselves, our world and God.

Comments from previous retreat participants:
Thank you all for the effort you have put in to make this such a fruitful place for us. You dug over the soil and invited God to work in our hearts. I appreciated this. Much love.
I feel very refreshed in body, mind and spirit. I have enjoyed in the fullest sense and have just loved the music. God has blessed me through you all and I just say 'thank you'.
A week of guided prayer
Would your church or group like to facilitate a week of seeking God individually and together?
|
Week of Guided Prayer, sometimes referred to as "a retreat in daily life", is like a retreat except that you remain in your normal day to day routines, choosing to consistently spend a half hour in prayer each day through the week, and having the opportunity to talk with a spiritual director daily.
The week begins and ends with a Group contemplative worship experience including a guided meditation. Contact us to find out more. |
