About the retreat
Extended Sabbath Day - Day of Retreat
What if holiness is found not in doing more, but in learning to stop?
This year our Sabbath Retreats invite you into an extended time of "sabbathing".
Inspired by Ronald Rolheiser's little book The Domestic Monastery this year, these retreats invite us to rediscover God's presence in the ordinary rhythms of life.
They offer a gentle space to step out of the demands of daily life and into a rhythm of attentiveness, gratitude, and presence. Rather than adding more to our spiritual lives, Sabbath invites us to stop, rest, delight, and remember that we are loved by God before we accomplish anything.
This is not a retreat about doing more. It is an invitation to receive.
