Re-imagining Prayer: A Women’s Weekend Retreat
November 4, 2022 @ 4:00 pm – November 6, 2022 @ 1:00 pm
“These are some of the things that prayer is. Prayer is rhythm. Prayer is comfort. Prayer is disappointment. Prayer is words and shape and art around desperation, and delight and disappointment and desire. Prayer can be the art that helps you name your desire.” ~ Padraig O Tuama
During this weekend retreat, we will experience prayer practices that invite us to re-imagine our relationship with God, ourselves, and the people in our lives. The comfort and hospitality of the Foehliage will provide an environment for deep listening and heartfelt response. We will have opportunities for conversation, silence, movement, and contemplation. Together we will explore many forms of prayer, including movement, journaling, Lectio Divina, walking meditation, and other experiences that bring our bodies, minds, and spirits into the act of authentic prayer.
We will gather at The Foehliage Retreat Center in Galena, Maryland, on Friday afternoon. Dinner will be at 6:00 pm, followed by a brief gathering to set the tone for the weekend. Friday evening and parts of Saturday will flow in and out of silence, with plenty of time for journaling, walking on the beautiful grounds, quiet reflection, and conversation. The retreat will close on Sunday morning with a contemplative prayer gathering and brunch.
