Walk on Holy Ground
". . . Remove the shoes from your feet, for the place where you stand is
holy ground," (Exodus 3:5)
A Retreat
is
a gift of time persons give themselves, to renew and deepen their covenant with
their God. It is time set apart; different from the "ordinary stuff" of daily
life, yet a time and experience that can pervade and imbue every day thereafter
with new vision and understanding.
Retreat is a time to "take off your shoes," to be less encumbered by schedule
and projects, to be open and vulnerable ready to be changed and deepened, and
time to approach ones life as "holy ground."
Retreatants are single, married, priests and sisters, young and old; men and
women from various faith traditions, who come from across town or across the
continent; all intent upon seeking God and letting God seek them. Retreats are
available for individuals as well as groups and recommended fees and
accommodations vary according to the needs of the retreatants.
Private or Directed Retreats
The Benedictine sisters at Benet Pines Retreat
Center offer hospitality to
all persons seeking this special time with their God. Retreats are either private, or directed by a
Sister who meets daily with a retreatant
to share in his/her journey. These experiences vary in length from one day to 30
days, depending on the needs of the individual.
Spiritual Direction
is
available upon request. |
