Personal Silent Retreat – A LENTEN CONTEMPLATIVE RETREAT

FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 19 TO SUNDAY LUNCH, FEBRUARY 21, 2021

During this contemplative time, we will reflect on the symbol of our heart and what invitations it may hold as we begin our Lenten journey. Practices will include contemplative prayer, practices for private response and contemplative dialogue.

Facilitator by Margaret Riley. She will create her own schedule while each person is here on a personal/private silent retreat.

*** During these uncertain times, We are offering a sliding scale. Choose the cost that best suits your needs.

*** 3 Costs for the weekend: 1. $250 per person – 2. $215 per person – 3. $180 per person.  Meals are included (Friday evening dinner at 6:00 pm and follow by Friday Evening Prayer at 7:00 pm).

*** Check in start Friday, Feb. 19 between 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm and Departure on Sunday, Feb. 21 at 1:00 pm.

*************

What do you do on a Personal Retreat?

While you are on a private retreat you can create and structure your own personal time. Read, pray, write or sleep. Choose to walk on our many trails or walk the labyrinth. Spend time in nature by sitting in the Canticle Garden.

We live in a world filled with competing demands and have little time for reflection and contemplation. It helps to step aside to rest awhile and to reflect on the deeper meaning of events in our lives.

Spiritual direction is one source you may want to take advantage of while you are here. We have a team of spiritual directors to meet with personal retreatants.  They can help you schedule your days, give you ideas for prayer, and help you deepen your experience of God. The cost is $50 per session, and if you request spiritual direction while you here on retreat, please click this link and choose the Spiritual Director: http://sandamiano.org/spiritual-direction/spiritual-direction-team/

Please contact Kateri at katerik@sandamiano.org or text and call at 925-785-9850 for more information with spiritual direction. If you prefer make your reservation by phone, contact Kateri. Thank you!
