The Soul Care Retreat helped me connect with God in a way I’ve never experienced. I finally understood the power of silence and solitude – ideas I’ve talked about but never fully embraced. This retreat wasn’t just a one-time thing; it inspired me to make this special connection a regular part of my life, enriching my spiritual journey.

we recommend you listen to this podcast on solitude and find some inspiration.
The “quiet place” was an intentional space Jesus entered to be alone with God and himself. As apprentices of Jesus, we desperately need to set aside time for this too.
| Ancient Spiritual Wisdom to Heal our Troubled Modern Souls |:: O N SOLITUDE ::"Solitude is the place of purification and transformation, the place of the great struggle and the great encounter . . . the place of our salvation.":: ON SILENCE ::"First, silence makes us pilgrims. Secondly, silence guards the fire within. Thirdly, silence teaches us to speak.":: ON PRAYER ::"The prayer of the heart opens the eyes of our soul to the truth of ourselves as well as to the truth of God. The prayer of the heart challenges us to hide absolutely nothing."| Your Support Counts |💡 Can't make it this time? Consider making a contribution to support the event costs.
