What if the body is not a distraction from prayer, but its dwelling place?
Rooted in Ignatian Spirituality and the early Christian understanding of sōma, this Summer Retreat invites participants into a deeply embodied experience of God’s indwelling life. Drawing from Scripture, silence, gentle movement, breath, and prayerful awareness, we will explore the body as Paul named it: a living temple of the Holy Spirit.
This retreat offers a contemplative re-imagining of practices often labeled “East” and beliefs often confined to the “West,” revealing a unified Christian vision where God meets us in flesh, breath, desire, and rest. Through Ignatian reflection and embodied prayer, participants will learn to listen to the movements of the Spirit as they arise within the living body.
Whether you come longing for healing, deeper discernment, or a renewed relationship with God, this retreat creates space to encounter the sacred already present within you.
This is a silent retreat. Guests will be supported in keeping a sacred silence throughout the weekend, including at meals.
