“Come away by yourselves to a deserted (quiet) place and I will give you rest” Mark 6:31

Jesus ‘got away from the crowds’ often for reflection on and prayer for his ministry and life.  The gift of quiet isn’t just about being silent but about quieting our hearts, minds and our busy lives.  Like Jesus we can step away to reflect, pray and  recognize more deeply the Divine presence within us.   This retreat will provide such an opportunity. 

• Thursday evening:  We are One in Seeking God

• Friday:  OUR Head: Quieting our Minds.

• Saturday: OUR Heart: Opening our Hearts. 

• Saturday evening: OUR Habits & Happenings: Peace Amid Busyness
