Like fresh-fallen snow, the new year invites us to wrap ourselves in newness. Through reflection, ritual, Eucharist, and spiritual companioning, we will pause to recognize grace, life, and promise as 2026 unfolds. Together, let us welcome these gifts with open hearts.

In the gentle rhythm of these sacred days, you are invited to rest in God’s presence and welcome the grace of new beginnings. Set within an atmosphere of warmth and peace, this retreat offers time to pause, reflect, and listen for the quiet invitations of the Spirit. Together and individually, we will explore what it means to embrace the newness that continually unfolds in our lives—new ways of seeing, of being, of responding to the promise of life renewed.

Guided reflection sessions will help you enter prayerful awareness and open-hearted discovery. Ample quiet space allows for solitude and contemplative rest. As a community, we will gather for shared reflection, ritual celebrations, and the Eucharist, honoring both the sacredness of this moment and the milestone of our 15th anniversary retreat. For those who desire it, individual companioning with a spiritual director will also be available, offering gentle support along your journey of renewal.

Come celebrate this special anniversary year with us—embrace the grace of change, the joy of presence, and the promise of new life unfolding.
