Retreats & Spiritual Experiences
Step Away. Listen. Return Renewed.
​
Sometimes we need to step away from the pace and noise of everyday life to hear more clearly what is stirring within us.
​
Retreats provide intentional space for prayer, silence, reflection, spiritual conversation, and renewed awareness of God's presence.
Retreats & Spiritual Experiences
Rooted in contemplative and Franciscan spirituality, retreat experiences may incorporate Scripture, guided reflection, journaling, nature, silence, spiritual direction, and contemplative practices.
​
Each experience creates intentional space to step away from everyday routines, listen more deeply, and become more attentive to God's presence.

What a Retreat May Include
Each retreat experience may look different depending on the individual, group, theme, and setting. Experiences may incorporate:
Prayer & Silence
Intentional space to become still and attentive to God's presence.
Scripture & Guided Reflection
Prayerful reflection designed to invite deeper listening and discernment.
Journaling & Contemplative Practices
Practices that create space to notice, reflect, and respond to what may be stirring within.
Spiritual Conversation
Opportunities for meaningful conversation, spiritual direction, and shared reflection.
Retreat Experiences
Retreat experiences can be shaped around particular seasons, themes, spiritual questions, or the needs of an individual or community.
​
Whether through a private experience or a gathering in community, each retreat is designed to create intentional space for prayer, reflection, deep listening, and renewed awareness of God's presence.
Spiritual Direction Walks
Walk • Listen • Discern
Â
Spiritual Direction doesn't always have to take place sitting across from one another.
​
A Spiritual Direction Walk creates space for prayerful conversation while walking outdoors. Movement, creation, silence, and conversation can help us experience discernment differently and become more attentive to God's presence around and within us.
​
The simplicity of walking together reflects something deeply Franciscan: encountering God through creation, presence, and relationship.
