Retreats

Forget everything you think you know about a spiritual retreat. What? Yes! Forget everything you think you know. Let’s start fresh. That is certainly what I told myself as I began planning the Waiting by the Brook Retreat this year. Why? Because the world has changed since COVID-19. Why? Because I think we are all changing right along with it.

A spiritual retreat is a drawing of our ourselves back from the hurried pace of life so that we can quiet the mind to hear God’s voice. We draw back so we can advance forward. We draw back so we can move closer to God.
