Come away to the peace of Bethlehem Centre, where you will be immersed in a rich pool of intentional silence. With a community of like-minded seekers and supported by the able guidance of Nan Goodship and Murray Groom, you will have an opportunity to delve into the depths of your own soul and find a new wholeness, your own sure place.

“Silence is a country whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.” Thomas Merton

This retreat is designed for those with some experience in contemplative practice and who wish to deepen their spiritual journey. Our days will include an introduction to a variety of contemplative practices, morning and evening group sessions, a daily conversation with your spiritual director, and extended periods of freedom to enjoy the beauty of Bethlehem Centre and its surroundings.

This is a time to rest and discern – an opportunity to be alone in a supportive community, to be in nature, and to deepen your spiritual journey – all in an atmosphere of meditative silence. Here is an opportunity to step back from our wired world and from the chatter of everyday life. Intentional silence creates an oasis in which to encounter that still, quiet, healing voice within, where we can be open to the movement of the Spirit.
