Guided
Retreat: Praying with the Mystics--Our Holy Women and
Men
- October 25-31, 2010
Arrival: 6:30 P.M. - 7:00 P.M. first night
Retreat begins 7:00 P.M. first night
Departure: after lunch, last day
This week-long silent retreat will explore the call for each of us
to access the "mystic within" - not uncommon since we
are all called to move closer to God during our lives. The word
"mysticism" can sometimes "scare" us due to
either misunderstanding or the belief that it is "above"
us. . . and yet we are invited into these days to
"re-see" this call with "new eyes".
There will be two gatherings each day: morning
prayer/conference, with suggestions for prayer; a second session
offering one of the following: communal prayer; open exchange of
faith issues; film screenings applicable to the retreat themes.
Eucharist will be celebrated throughout the retreat.
Topics presented will include: "the monastery
within"; mysticism and poetry; praying with mystics from a
variety of faith traditions; nature and creation; love and
transformation; more. Retreatants are asked to bring a journal or
notebook with them.
$340 ($75 non-refundable deposit due with registration)
