smor·gas·bord / noun

1. a range of open sandwiches and delicacies served as hors d'oeuvres or a buffet.

• a wide range of something; a variety.

This retreat will offer a range of meditations for your journey in silence over the weekend. There will be something for everyone. 

We will listen to the invitations of silence: what whispers, what screams, how and what God speaks. We will consider some gifts coming from the life of a saint or two for us today. And we will offer some smatterings of spiritual practices for your journey.

Join us for a weekend away, a weekend in the beauty of the autumn desert, a  weekend that pushes pause to your routines and at-home/work life and offers a different rhythm.

Cost for the program and room and board includes Friday dinner through Sunday lunch.
