We will gather in Gospel pondering, life reflection and contemplative practice all in service of creating a community that nourishes a prophetic imagination. Our time together will include presentations, some shared reflection and contemplative silence to nourish the gifts needed to create a community for our turbulent world. Join us as we both delve into Holy Mystery and ponder the crying needs of our time.

Presenter: Simone Campbell, SSS

Come gather with us to draw creatively upon the Scriptures, seeking their wisdom for embracing our full humanity—our brokenness and our goodness, our despair and our hope, our cynicism and our longing. Opportunities to gather for presentations, group reflection and discussion, and ritual prayer will be included. The retreat will conclude with Eucharistic liturgy on Friday, July 14th.

Presenters: Mary Boys, SNJM & Miriam Malone, SNJM

All of us carry touchstone moments that have defined us as people of faith. Over these past three years of constant change and instability, it’s been difficult to recognize the God we once knew. Through the lens of Ignatian Spirituality, this spiritual pilgrimage will give us an opportunity to glimpse a God who gently tells us, “I’m here. Trust me. I love you.” We will experience this pilgrimage together through meditation, conversation, liturgy, presentations, personal prayer, and rest.

Presenters: Fr. Radmar Joa, SJ & Teresa Nygard

Amid the chaos and the noise that fills our lives, join us in a sacred time of stillness. Come and rest in the quiet and renew your spirit. Come and be surrounded by the beauty of nature and the gift of stillness. This time is intended for individuals seeking a personal retreat and to share the quiet with others. All participants will have a private room, common meals in silence, and optional communal daily prayer.
