Dayspring is bathed in the prayers of our ancestors who blessed the land and were blessed by it. This retreat will offer a time of deepening connections in the Great Silence – listening to the Creator, to the sacred land and to our own bodies...

In the opening meditation on Friday night we will reflect on living resting in Divine Love, and then we will seek to be present to this healing practice in the quiet of retreat during the weekend. There will be gatherings for silent prayer on Saturday morning and evening.

Our retreat will begin with a brief reflection leading us into the great silence. In an atmosphere of silence, solitude, and community we will open ourselves up to God’s divine presence and action within. This weekend will be an opportunity to let go of agendas, distractions, and obstacles so we can rest in the Presence and let the Spirit love and refresh us.

This retreat, held in sacred silence, offers an opportunity to hear again the angels of Advent and their timeless messages. Music, art, poetry and the winter landscape itself will support our prayerful reflection as we seek to listen deeply for God’s hope-filled dream for the world and our place in it.
