2012 Retreat Dates
March 10 (Saturday)
Join us again this year at the delightful Prettyman Center at Pilgrim Hills. Join us for a day away from the noise and stress of the everyday—a day devoted to reconnecting with God through silence, worship and nature.
A Day with God and Self is a day-long retreat for educators, clergy and laity offering an opportunity for individual and group spiritual guidance.
There will be opportunities for:
Personal reflection and prayer
Silence and meditation
Corporate worship
Relaxation and refreshment
Individual and/or small group spiritual direction
Encountering various spiritual disciplines
Reiki (additional $10)
Most of the camp will be available for personal prayer, meditation and walks. Books and various resources will be on hand.
A labyrinth has been constructed near the Prettyman Center and will be available throughout the day.
Everything planned for the day is optional depending on your own spiritual needs. Let the Spirit guide you.
Anyone coming from a distance, or who would like extra time, is welcome to come the evening before (for an additional $40).
Throughout the day, opportunities for individual spiritual guidance will be offered.
For those who have not experienced extended silence, there will be an introduction to the use of the quiet times following the morning worship.
Attend just once or as many days as you are able.
Because we live in a frantic, fast-paced world, we need to take care of ourselves and to take time to connect with our creator!
