3-Day Silent Directed Retreat: Open the Door of Your Heart


  • Benet House Retreat Center 2200 88th Avenue West Rock Island, IL, 61201 United States (map)

Explore the rich image of the door as an invitation to journey within. Borrowing concepts from Joyce Rupp’s book Open the Door, A Journey to the True Self, you will discover the many ways the door is the perfect symbol for spiritual growth, leading us to search for meaning and self-acceptance. Through Visio Divina, prayer, reflection, song, and silent space, you will uncover what is hidden within. This retreat is open to women and men of all faiths. You can join the Sisters for daily Lauds and Vespers, if you wish.

Come! Open the door of your heart.

Date and times:  Thurs., Nov. 13: (Arrival: 4 pm; Vespers: 5 pm; Dinner: 5:30 pm; Conference: 7 pm)- Sun., Nov. 16, 4pm.
