Contemplative Spaces

Our bodies crave rest, and our souls seek nourishment, yet we often deny ourselves the opportunity to honour these needs. We create spaces intentionally crafted to foster reflection and a quiet awareness of the Spirit of God. In these serene environments, contemplative silence is encouraged to welcome a sabbath rest.

Practical elements like a flower, a candle, or a cross are used to inspire spiritual reflection, stillness, and new forms of connection with God. We offer gentle guidance toward recognizing the sacred in everyday life.

You are invited to experience the refreshing embrace of God’s hospitality through our tranquil spaces and experiential prayers. As Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am God.”

SILENT RETREATS

Key aspects of a silent retreat include:

Silence: The core of a silent retreat is the practice of maintaining silence. This can mean no spoken conversation, and sometimes even a reduction in written or electronic communication.

Meditation and Reflection: Participants often engage in meditation, prayer, or contemplation. The silence provides an opportunity to reflect deeply on personal or spiritual matters.

Structured Schedule: Retreats typically have a structured schedule that includes periods of silence, meditation, individual or group discussions, and sometimes guided exercises or teachings.

Personal Space: The retreat setting is usually designed to provide a calm and private environment where individuals can be alone with their thoughts, free from everyday distractions.

Spiritual or Personal Growth: The retreat aims to help participants connect with their inner selves, enhance their spiritual life, and gain clarity or insight into their lives.

Guidance and Support: Some retreats offer guidance from spiritual leaders or facilitators who help participants navigate their silent time and provide support for their reflective practices.

Overall, a silent retreat provides a space for individuals to step away from their daily routines and immerse themselves in a contemplative environment, fostering deeper self-awareness and spiritual connection.
