BEYOND the WALLS: Entering Creation's Cathedral

A contemplative retreat for rest, prayer, and renewal. Set in the peaceful natural surroundings of St. Placid priory, this retreat invites you to step away from the noise of everyday life and enter a quiet space of stillness. Surrounded by trees and open air, you will be gently led into a healing rhythm of rest, reflection, and renewal for body, mind, and spirit.

Rooted in the Christian contemplative tradition, this gathering offers a sacred approach to holistic wellness through quiet presence with God. Space is created for silent prayer, contemplative listening, journaling, and a renewed awareness of rest and well-being in God's presence. Through simple, grounding practices such as contemplative prayer, scripture meditation, and unhurried stillness, you are invited to release stress, quiet the mind, and receive deep restorative rest.

This is not a time for striving, but for slowing down and being present with God. Whether you are longing for peace, clarity, or spiritual renewal, this morning retreat offers a sacred pause to reconnect, be refreshed, and gently renew your whole being.
