Guided Silent Retreats

For October’s guided silent retreat, we will open ourselves to the life and spirituality of Francis of Assisi (d. October 3, 1226). There will be plenty of time for reading and reflection, prayerful walking of our backyard labyrinth, and space for prayerful art. Participants will receive handouts with readings, prayers and songs inspired by Francis, for use as lectio divina as well as reflective questions.

The cost of the retreat is $25 and includes the price of lunch.  We don’t want anyone to miss out because of pricing. Contact Haley for information on scholarships at hbrown@chapelwood.org.

For November’s guided silent retreat, we will personally explore the Feasts of All Saints and All Souls. We ask that you consider bringing an icon or picture of a person who has been a “saint” for you – whether they are officially recognized by the Church as a saint and have an icon written of them, or if they are one of your personal “saints” that have radiated the light of Christ to you. Also, consider bringing the picture of a departed loved one that radiated Christ’s love to you, someone you wish to especially remember at the retreat. There will be plenty of time for reading and reflection, prayerful walking of our backyard labyrinth, and space for prayerful art. Participants will receive handouts with readings, prayers and songs related to All Saints and All Souls, for use as lectio divina as well as reflective questions.

The cost of the retreat is $25 and includes the price of lunch.  We don’t want anyone to miss out because of pricing. Contact Haley for information on scholarships at hbrown@chapelwood.org.

For December’s guided silent retreat, we will explore our Advent theme this year – “Living in the In-Between” – with an emphasis on the contemplative practice of “watchfulness.” There will be plenty of time for reading and reflection, prayerful walking of our backyard labyrinth, and space for prayerful art. Participants will receive handouts with readings, prayers and songs for use as lectio divina as well as reflective questions.
