THE WORD MADE FLESH: WEEKEND RETREAT

Theme:  THE WORD MADE FLESH.  How do we experience, discover, discern, and appreciate the presence of God in our everyday lives?  What spiritual practices help us to sharpen the eyes and ears of our hearts so that we can pay close attention to this most important relationship?  We will immerse ourselves in prayerful practices such as meditative walks, centering prayer, lectio divina and the holy silence of Dayspring in order to experience the Word made flesh in our own lives.

Leader:  The Rev. Carlyle Gill is an Episcopal priest.  She retired in 2006 after 30 years of full time parish ministry.  She is a Priest Associate at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Lewes, Delaware, a spiritual director, and leader of Centering Prayer retreats.
