Retreat Name:  Art Journaling: A Way of Prayer
Date Start: April 30, 2010
Date End: May 2, 2010
Description:

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.

Please bring a journal.  Other materials will be provided.
Presenter: Marianne Hieb, RSM

Retreat Name:  Ignation Guided Retreat
Date Start: May 14, 2010
Date End: May 22, 2010
Description: Throughout the centuries Christian women and men have often joined together on pilgrimage, journeying in search of the loving presence of God in their lives.  On the road as pilgrims, they have come to know themselves as sinners, but have as well experienced themselves called to be companions of Jesus.  During this week, retreatants will be invited to travel together as pilgrims in companionship with Jesus, guided by the major themes of St. Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises.  Retreatants meet as a group for a conference in the morning and Liturgy of the Eucharist in the evening.
