We live in the midst of a busy, often noisy world, where many different forces and voices call us in conflicting directions and vie for our time, our energy, our allegiance. This retreat will offer an opportunity to slow down and to focus on the actual possibility of developing a rich prayer life in the midst of the routine chaos of our lives which can often feel fragmented, out of balance, or out of control. Various exercises will be presented as tools to help the retreatant focus on priorities to clarify the forces and audiences which seek to name us and give us our agendas, and to reflect on our image of God which can often be so paralyzing and toxic that the desire to pray is the least of our desires. Special attention will be given to the role of gratitude in developing a healthy, balanced life with God, with self, and with others. This retreat is open to both men and women. The retreat begins with dinner at 6:30 PM on Friday evening and concludes after lunch on Sunday.

This retreat experience is different from other retreats in that it focuses on methodology. In addition to daily liturgy and quiet times, retreatants spend several periods each day learning and practicing Eastern methods of contemplation, doing the practice rather than listening to a talk. This retreat is a practicum; it's a "how-to" retreat; it's doing contemplation. Group guidance as well as individual sessions with the presenter will be offered.The daily format for the Retreat will include:Group sitting meditations, Walking meditations, Liturgy, and Private interviews. The retreat begins with dinner at 6:30 PM on June 10 and ends with lunch on June 16.
