SUMMARY:Virtual Epiphany Mini Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The lore surrounding the Magi has fascinated generations of believers and seekers for countless centuries.

During our gathering together via Zoom\, those present will consider information about these ancient figures and their legacy while applying the gift of their star-inspired journey to each participant’s respective story. Moreover\, there will be opportunities to engage in prayer\, contemplation\, music\, and other meaningful exercises for a deeper appreciation of how the Magi offer a unique spiritual treasure to our perennial celebration of Christmas and what it means to live life as a journey. \nPlease bring a journal for use throughout the virtual program. Participants are welcome to decorate their Zoom space before the program begins with sacred art\, ornaments\, or artifacts that personally symbolize the Epiphany or Magi for them. \nThis is a virtual program.

SUMMARY:Quiet Mornings - In Person Session
DESCRIPTION:Quiet Mornings sessions are currently being held IN-PERSON on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. \n(It is also held virtually on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday. Every virtual session is held from 10:30 am to 12:00 noon.)\nPlease email Joanne at jmcahooneph3@gmail.com for the Zoom sessions invitation for Virtual sessions. \nQuiet mornings provide an opportunity for quiet – for reflection\, prayer\, listening\, presence – in common with others. Perhaps you’d like to carve out time\, but could use the support of a structure that is also flexible? Most of us could! And there is encouragement and strength in coming together in this way. You are welcome whenever matches your schedule/desire/need. \nEach gathering is bracketed by an opening and closing prayer. The quiet hour at its heart is not scripted or guided. Each one enters the quiet and utilizes or follows it as she/he desires to do so. Some opt to journal\, read\, walk; to engage in meditation; imaginative prayer or centering prayer; art or collage; or physical movement. The commitment to enter the quiet with some regularity as an ongoing practice is the point. By doing so in companionship with others\, we support each other’s journey just by willingly being present in God’s presence together\, and hoping good for each other. In our closing prayer\, we pray a blessing for each other. Please feel welcome! Guided by Joanne Cahoon. \nJoanne Cahoon\, D.Min. – spiritual director\, retreat leader\, coach – facilitates the Quiet Mornings.

SUMMARY:Winter Directed Retreat\, 3-night stay
DESCRIPTION:A silent directed retreat provides an opportunity for individuals to spend dedicated time with God and is a rich means of being open to God’s grace and love. Unlike a conference or guided retreat\, there are not group sessions or daily presentations. Instead\, the ‘content’ of the retreat is your own ongoing relationship with God. Individuals meet daily with a spiritual director\, whose aim is to collaborate with the work of the Spirit as together you reflect on God’s presence and movement in your life. Spiritual directors may make suggestions related to your conversations (prayer forms\, Scripture\, reading materials\, quotes\, questions\, wonderings) to support and deepen your experience and awareness of God with you. The rhythm of the day is decided by each individual and may include walks\, reading\, writing\, art-making\, mindful movement\, liturgy\, etc. The Retreat Center affords plenty of places and spaces for prayer\, with beauty abounding. We come to directed retreats as individuals and as part of a community of others who are also seeking and listening. This spiritual community joins you in silence\, offering support by being prayerfully aware of all the individual journeys\, gifts\, and needs to which God is attending. \nBegin the new year by focusing on your path ahead and tuning into God’s voice. Our winter directed retreat consists of two days (3-night stay) of spiritual direction. Retreatants will meet with a spiritual director daily (or less if you desire) to reflect on God’s presence and movement in your life as revealed in prayer\, the events and relationships in your life\, and the response to God that is being made. The spiritual director may make suggestions (prayer forms\, Scripture\, reading materials\, etc.) to support and deepen your awareness of and response to God. \nAside from the introductory session and your spiritual direction meetings\, you will be on your own to experience a weekend of personal reflection. Mass will be available on Sunday and Monday. Guided by Fr. Jim McBurney\, Amy Sorensen Kulesa\, and Sr. Pat Mensing. \nThis is a silent retreat. Check-in begins at 4pm. There will be a brief welcome session at 5pm\, followed by dinner at 6pm. The retreat begins after dinner at 7pm on Friday and concludes after lunch on Monday. \nPlease indicate your preference for a spiritual director in the “Special Needs” part of the online registration form. \nTo register for the 6-Night Directed Retreat option instead\, please click here. \nFr. Jim McBurney is a priest of the Order of St. Augustine. He currently serves as Novice Director for the Augustinians\, having previously done vocation and formation ministry for his community.

SUMMARY:Returning to You: A Somatic Restart for the New Year
DESCRIPTION:You are wise. You are powerful. You have everything you need inside you. How would our new year be different if we believed and lived these statements — not just in our minds\, but in our bodies and souls? Often life has us rushing so fast and is so loud we cannot hear the enlightened\, intuitive whisper within us. Grounded in somatic work\, we will spend our day returning to our own powerful wisdom. As we let go of what no longer served us in the past\, we will ground into the present and invite in the future of our dreams. This is a space to show up exactly as you are\, in all of your beauty and mess. Bring your uncertainty\, joy\, grief\, hope\, fear\, and every other feeling or sensation that swirls through you. Participants are encouraged to dress in comfortable clothing and are invited to bring a yoga mat\, beach towel\, blankets\, pillows\, a journal\, or anything else that helps you feel cozy and safe (we will have extras\, so no need to purchase any of these items). Lunch is included. Guided by Karen Bortvedt Estrada. \nKaren Bortvedt Estrada is a Somatic Stress Release Practitioner. Whether it is chronic pain\, mental health struggles\, insomnia\, or just feeling off\, Karen blends her training in somatics\, nonviolent communication\, and mindfulness to support clients in tending to their nervous system to help them find relief and gain more capacity to navigate the ups and downs of life. In addition to being certified in Somatic Stress Release\, Karen is a Restorative Justice Circle Keeper and Mindfulness Practitioner. She is certified in Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion in the workplace\, credentialed in Mindfulness and Neurodiversity\, and trained in Nonviolent Communication. Prior to a career shift to somatics and mindfulness\, she spent over a decade working cross-culturally\, both domestically and internationally\, in a variety of nonprofit organizations. One common thread through her previous roles was holding space for others and collaborating to build networks of support. After seeing and experiencing how systems in our world are often built to disconnect us from ourselves\, Karen shifted her focus to supporting folks in returning to their own internal wisdom. In her spare time\, Karen loves deep conversations\, kayaking\, spending time with her dogs\, family and siblings\, and building community wherever she finds herself.

For our one-hour sessions\, we will gather to pray together in silence\, attentive to the stillness within\, and reflect together on readings related to our prayer life. The sessions are relaxed and informal. You are invited to dress comfortably and use a meditation cushion if you would like. \nFacilitation for each Centering Prayer session will be led by an experienced member of the group. We follow a consistent format from week to week\, with variability each session in the reflective reading that is shared. Though sponsored by the Retreat Center\, Centering Prayer is a member-supported prayer community.
