Description

 Holy_leisure_water_thumb

In early times, those seeking to live a spiritual life went and sought spiritual direction from seasoned desert monastics saying, "Abba...Amma, give me a word."  This silent retreat will offer a "word" that will illuminate our "darkening but beautiful world."  A licensed trained spiritual director will offer a "word" on holy leisure in hopes of returning balance to our frenzied lives.  Those who consider themselves as solitary seekers of God are encourged to attend this silent retreat event.

OTHER DATES FOR "HOLY LEISURE/SILENT RETREAT" are August 8-10, and November 7-9
