It's hard to share God's loving light when your own light feels dim. This retreat will invite participants to tend their inner flame and look for where God is inviting them to share that light with the world. We will use periods of art, journaling, and reflective prayer to honor the unique call that God has for each person.

This is a silent retreat. Guests are expected to maintain a sacred silence throughout the retreat,  including at meals, unless otherwise noted. There will be periods of discussion and dialogue when prompted by the retreat director.
