Quiet Day: Discovering God at Home

During this Retreat House Quiet Day, we will look at our everyday activities in a whole new way. Guided by Gunilla Norris’ book, Being Home, we will take time to notice the Spirit in the simple things we do all the time. In 4-5 mini-sessions, we will use the activities themselves to examine their relationship to the Divine. What new thoughts or sensations could we have while walking or preparing a meal? How might our everyday activities serve as metaphors for bigger things in our lives?

The Zoom session will include time for introductions, readings and discussion. Each mini session will include instruction that is focused on a specific daily activity and everyone will step away from the screens for a period of time to complete the assignment. Upon returning, we will share our experiences. The last session will be focused on preparing our lunch!

A suggested donation of $30 per person will be appreciated; payments can be made with online registration or by check. As always, everyone is welcome to attend, regardless of finances.
