NURTURING AN OPEN AND WILLING HEART: A WEEKEND RETREAT back
March 24 - March 26, 2017
Theme: NURTURING AN OPEN AND WILLING HEART. “Make your home in me, as I make my home in you” (John 15:4). This simple statement from the Gospel of John invites us to deepen the union that is already present. During this silent retreat, we will engage some simple ways to open our hearts and cultivate and enjoy this oneness with our Beloved.
Leader: Patience Robbins is a spiritual director, mentor, lover of silence and deeply enjoys nurturing a contemplative heart.
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.
