This day shall be a memorial feast for you, which all generations shall celebrate as a feast in Yahweh’s honor. Exodus 12

This triduum retreat is a special invitation to spend time apart in an atmosphere of prayer and silence so that we may enter more deeply into the Pascal Mystery.  Each day of the retreat will center around the liturgical celebration and will provide an opportunity for guidance in personal prayer.

This weekend will combine led journaling experiences with times for silence and community, in the beauty of the Linwood landscape.  We will engage in prayerful journaling using a process that combines simple art materials and writing within a meditative context.  Emphasis will be on the practice of contemplative gazing, with its potential to deepen our appreciation of God’s unique creation – ourselves included!  Optional gentle stretching exercises will help focus the embodiment of this holistic process.  Ways of noticing the present moment, and ways to continue the journaling process will be presented.  No art experience needed for this non-verbal/verbal approach.
