Silent Retreat Lent 2015


Holy Silence Retreat - Lent 2015
Thursday – Saturday February 19-21
Winter grants us the gift of slowing, if we will receive it. 
Blanketed  snow invites us to wrap ourselves in cozy spaces
to read, listen, allowing earth and ourselves to rest. It is time to 
listen for the stirring that lie deep below the surface, 
waiting for the right time. 

This guided retreat invites participants to
experience the sacred space 
of solitude and quiet with God. 
A few group gatherings allow for framing and sharing 
notions for listening and being in the
silence and experiencing God.
Individual Spiritual Direction will be optional.

Freedom to hike the woodlands, read,
journal, nap, sip tea, or browse the library.
The Hermitage in Three Rivers, Michigan 
www.hermitagecommunity.org
is a perfect setting for rest, reflection, and
renewal in the quiet of this silent retreat. 

Individual rooms, shared bathroom/shower, and
simple healthy meals are found in this cozy converted barn
retreat.

Come to the Quiet - Come be with the Sacred

A day of visual meditation, an ancient practice of the Church.  Corporate and individual guided practice in “seeing” and “listening” with eyes and heart wide open.  Praying with art invites us to see in new ways, invites our ordinary seeing to become a means of daily prayer, to look at all of life with eyes of holy vision.
