“In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” Isaiah 30:15

Henri Nouwen teaches us to spend time in silence and solitude as a practice to know oneself and to know God. It is in this experience, we discover intimate rest that continues to inform our relationship with God and one another. Just as Isaiah 30:15 reminds us that in the quietness we will be strengthened, it can be a wonderful experience when we journey through silence and solitude in community. We are inviting you to continually develop your inner spiritual formation through silence and solitude. Come and experience a deepened sense of knowing God and being known by God. Our time will be communal soul sabbath, creating space for us to hear from God and treasuring the collective journey together. Our hope is that you leave nourished and refreshed to continue your unique journey with God.

Our time will be unhurried and guided with contemplative prompts in the space you'll be sharing with God. We trust the Holy Spirit will illuminate for you where to pay attention and how God would like to minister to and care for you personally in our shared time. There will be time to speak with a spiritual director or discerner to reflect and process your time of silence and solitude. We enter silence and close off collectively. We are hopeful that you will come away affirmed, encouraged, refreshed with a deeper awareness of God's closeness to you.

Here's a glance of our time together. This summer's retreat theme is 'Unwavering'. Each group silent reflection time will be guided by a WOW! team member around this theme.
