blue emptinessThis Post-Intensive Retreat will consist of continuous periods of Centering Prayer from before sunrise until the dinner hour, with breaks for meals. Attendees may participate in as much prayer as they are called to. Short pauses for entering and leaving the silence will be offered every 30 minutes. There will be no teaching and no reading during this immersion in silence. Veteran retreat leaders Chris Frantsvog and Paul Witmer look forward to hosting you for this journey into deep silence.

Note: All retreatants must be fully vaccinated. You will be contacted after registration with information on how to provide proof. Each registrant must also complete a short Covid questionnaire upon arrival, and wear a mask when going through the buffet line at the monastery.
