A Liminal Space: Dayspring Church Weekend Retreat back
March 13 - March 15, 2020
Theme: A Liminal Space - during this season of Lent, we wait. Waiting is not something that most of us are skilled at doing! This land, and the Spirit of God, give us the opportunity to slow down, so that we can gather ourselves, and remember to listen to the still, small voice within. The natural world, and this holy Dayspring space, are always ready to teach us what we most need to know. In our silence, we will discover the beauty within and without.
Leader: Jim Marsh Jr. is a United Methodist pastor, child and adolescent psychotherapist, covenant member of Bread of Life church, and a member of the Recovery Cafe DC design team. Within those things that I do, I am reminded that my greatest work is to find ways in which to simply be.
For Dayspring Church. Others welcome as space permits.
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.
