- **Event Name**:  The Power of Silence: Mini Silent Directed Retreat
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 09 Jan, 2026 at 11:00 am – Tue, 13 Jan, 2026 at 01:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Participate in a winter Silent Directed Retreat to delve deeply into the healing properties of silence
Begin the new year in silence and stillness. Silent, directed retreats invite you into deep silence where you can awaken a quiet, living connection with the Source of All Being. Each day, meet with a trained spiritual director who will gently guide you as you listen to the movements of Spirit in your heart.

Silence creates space to notice your thoughts, feelings, and longings, and to reflect, pray, rest, and discern. At Prairiewoods (120 E Boyson Road in Hiawatha), everything—meals, solitude, reflective practices, and time in nature—supports your journey inward. Optional activities such as yoga, art, and sound meditation deepen your experience, while walks in the prairie or quiet moments at dusk connect you with the presence of creation all around.

This is an invitation to rest, to listen, and to rediscover the healing wisdom of silence. As Carolyn Myss reminds us, “The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.”

Fee:  $500, includes lodging, meals and spiritual direction.  Partial scholarship funds are available. A non-refundable deposit of $25 is required at registration. (Full payment is required to register online. If you prefer to pay the $25 registration fee now and the balance when you arrive, please call 319-395-6700.)
