5-Day Guided Retreat: Growing in Self-Compassion


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

 “And when he had taken leave of them (the crowd and disciples), he went off to the mountain to pray.”  Mark 6: 46

It is important for everyone to nourish self-care.  This guided retreat provides a time to ‘leave the crowd’ and pay attention to the Divine within you.  A time to be compassionate to yourself.   Each day will start with a meditation on self-compassion.  The remainder of the day is for you to nourish yourself in the quiet, through prayer and reflection, a walk in the woods, perhaps do a little painting or rest.  There is an opportunity for spiritual direction.  Lauds and Vespers with the Sisters is also an option.   

Date and Time:  May 15 (9 am)-May 19 (1pm). 

Retreat Leader: Lorene Knobbe, Boundless Compassion Facilitator and Spiritual Director.
