Theme: Receiving the Embrace of Mystery – A Four Day Retreat, Thursday through Sunday.  The season of Autumn and the nourishment of a longer stretch of silence on this sacred land offers spacious time for opening, letting go, and receiving the gifts of soul. Through creative contemplative practices, listening to Earth’s wisdom, and resting in our bodies, we are invited to dwell for a while in the fertile space of unknowing between endings and beginnings, loss and new life. This a journey to recover and ground ourselves in holy Mystery and be inspired for our everyday life and work.

Leader: Trish Stefanik is a Dayspring resident and experienced retreat leader who delights in the love of God and opening a way for creativity and contemplation.

This retreat runs Thursday dinner through Sunday lunch. The silence begins Thursday night after dinner when the leader opens the retreat and introduces the theme. The leader will offer brief reflections with morning and evening prayers on Friday and Saturday. The silence ends after breakfast Sunday morning with a time of sharing and worship, followed by lunch and departure.

The cost for weekend retreats is $450.  A $200 deposit is required to register.
