Nurturing Life's Blessings 2027
With Diane Poplawski, OP, Linda Wieser, OSF, Marianne Kempa, SSND, Miriam Brown, OP and Stephanie Mondello
July 25 - 31, 2027
Embrace and nurture life’s blessings, all of them, in a silent retreat for women tailored to your individual encounter with the Holy. Opening special spiritual themes, each day includes a brief morning reflection and shared evening prayer. Everyone is offered a daily meeting one-on-one with a spiritual guide and silent time for solitude. Each day is a blessing.
During registration you will be asked to register for one of the available spiritual guides who will accompany you throughout the retreat. If your first choice for spiritual guide is no longer available when you go to register, please pick a different spiritual guide. In the next portion of registration there will be a space to put your first choice in if you would like to be added to the waiting list for that guide. We will do our very best to honor these preferences.
