EIGHTH DAY OF CREATION: A Weekend Retreat back
June 17 - June 19, 2018
Theme: EIGHTH DAY OF CREATION. As the earth tips into summer on this solstice weekend, we will explore the wonder of creation in Genesis, Chapter 1 - and the presence of God's ongoing creation in our lives. Clay and other art materials will be available.
Leader: Marjory Zoet Bankson is a potter, teacher, seasoned spiritual guide and Steward at Seekers Church.
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.
The cost for weekend retreats is $250. A $100 deposit is required to register. (Let us know if you need financial assistance.) To reserve a space email Nat Reid at office@dayspringretreat.org, or send a check with a note indicating which retreat you wish to register for.
Dinner on Friday at 7 pm is the first official gathering. You are welcome to arrive and settle in between 3:30 and 6:30 pm on Friday. The retreat will end by 2 pm on Sunday. Please plan to stay for the entire retreat.
