Sacred Pause - A Weekend Silent Directed Retreat

As a new year begins, are you yearning for rest, silence, and a deeper connection with the Holy? Give yourself the gift of a sacred pause. Step away from the demands of daily life and enter a space of prayerful stillness, peaceful surroundings, and spiritual companionship.

This weekend retreat invites you into the grace of silence, complemented by the opportunity for Spiritual Direction. On Saturday, you will meet privately with an experienced spiritual director who serves as a compassionate companion and guide on your spiritual journey. Through attentive conversation, you will be encouraged in prayer and invited to recognize the movements of the Spirit in your life. On Friday evening, you will have an introductory meeting with your spiritual director to discuss your intentions for the weekend and arrange a time for your Saturday session.

The remainder of the retreat is yours to experience at your own pace. You may choose to spend time in personal prayer, journaling, quiet reflection, creative expression, peaceful walks, or simply resting amid the serene beauty of Genesis. With an intentionally unstructured schedule, this retreat offers the freedom to listen deeply, embrace stillness, and open your heart to the mystery of the Divine at work within and around you.

Those who wish are welcome to remain on the grounds of Genesis beyond the scheduled retreat time, as their personal schedules allow.
