Our precious Earth is calling us to pause and listen. Her beauty and abundance are gifts that sustain us, yet our modern ways of living often pull us away from the ancient rhythms and deep connections that nurture both the planet and our souls. This silent retreat offers a gentle invitation to step back, reconnect with creation, and open our hearts to an ecological awakening.

Through the wisdom of the Hebrew Scriptures, the Christian Gospels, the poetry of Rumi and Mary Oliver, and the writings of visionaries like Sufi scholar Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, Elizabeth Johnson, and Teilhard de Chardin, S.J., we’ll explore creation spirituality—blending ancient wisdom with modern insights.

From October 17-19 take this opportunity to leave behind the noise of daily life and immerse yourself in the stillness of nature, scripture, and reflection. Together, let us renew our commitment to compassionate care for God’s creation, for ourselves and for the generations to come.

This is a silent retreat. Guests are expected to maintain a sacred silence throughout the retreat, including at meals, unless otherwise noted.
