Exploring Space, Finding Symbols - A Weekend Retreat back
October 14 - October 16, 2016
Theme: EXPLORING SPACE, FINDING SYMBOLS. How can we honor emptiness? Space where nothing is? Absence in the Autumn season where once leaves and grasses filled the view? And after storms and drama, how do we listen for the still, small voice of God in the empty spaces of our lives? Come, and listen with me.
Leader: Marjory Zoet Bankson, Seasoned spiritual guide, Steward at Seekers Church and Chair of the The Church of the Saviour’s Ecumenical Council.
Open Retreat.
Weekend retreats run Friday dinner through Sunday lunch. The silence begins Friday night after dinner when the leader opens the retreat and introduces the theme. The leader usually offers brief reflections with morning and evening prayers on Saturday. The silence ends after breakfast Sunday morning with a time of sharing and worship, followed by lunch and departure.
You must be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus in order to attend weekend retreats. We are requiring that masks be worn indoors except when dining or in your personal room.
