Available in half day or full day formats, The Layne comfortably accommodates up to 20 individuals with group meeting space and break out spaces for either individual or small group contemplation.
Summer Half Day Silent Retreat July 11th, 8:45 – Noon
What is the "Season" of your life-world? We find ourselves in the season of summer. According to the liturgical calendar, we find ourselves in "ordinary time"; season where we focus on Jesus' ministry and teaching as He reveals his new kingdom. In spiritual direction, we notice the rhythms of nature around us. Summer becomes the season of "Rejoicing". The crops and flowers, the weather, everything in abundance. Our lives don't often match with the season of the year, but our lives move in and out of all four seasons. Join us this "summer" whatever season you find yourself to be in.
