Tuning Our Hundred Secret Senses -- Dayspring Church Weekend Retreat back
October 31 - November 2, 2014
Theme: TUNING OUR HUNDRED SECRET SENSES. This retreat, on the eve of All Souls, will bring us to new awareness of our timeless connections to one another and to the Spirit around us and within us. In the liminal space that is Silence, we will use gentle, suggested movement, breath, and centering prayer to sense anew the communion of saints and the Loving One present in all creation.
Leader: Lindsay McLaughlin is a member of the Rolling Ridge Study Retreat Community. She is a writer, dance-prayer movement artist, and retreat leader. She serves as the executive coordinator of the Friends of Silence, a global network of those linked in “reverencing silence, prayer, contemplation, the Divine Guest, and the Oneness of all creation.”
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.
