About this retreat

Join us for our new Centering Prayer Series, offered every other month. This series provides a welcoming space to learn and experience the practice of Centering Prayer—a method of silent prayer that opens the heart and mind to the presence of God.

Our trained staff will gently guide you through the foundations of the practice, offering time for instruction, shared silence, and reflection. Whether you are new to contemplative prayer or looking to deepen your spiritual journey, this introduction is a wonderful place to begin.
