(This is a special one night retreat, Friday to Saturday, ending after dinner on Saturday.) “In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair” (Howard Thurman). This retreat will offer a simple, gentle rhythm of time for refreshment in the sacred dimensions of spiritual community and solitude. We will hold the intent of discovery as primary, exploring practices for opening to receive the unexpected gifts of our whispering hearts, for coming home to our deepest truth.
If this is your first silent retreat, or if you have held this as a cherished practice for a long time, you are welcome. Whatever your faith tradition, you are welcome. Come, discover the rest and renewal of retreat through the peaceful rhythm of guided meditations, music, silence, and shared meals.  Cost is $120; please send $60 deposit.

Leader: Ann Dean is a long-time spiritual director and leader of multifaith groups and retreats. She is a member of the Retreat Mission Group and a Program Director at the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation.
