SUMMARY:Spring Deepening Retreat | Schuyler\, Nebraska
DESCRIPTION:Deepening retreats are designed for people who are acquainted with the history and methodology of contemplative spirituality\, have a daily prayer sit practice (like centering prayer) and who desire to deepen their practice. Though people who are new to a sitting practice are also very welcome and will find the retreat helpful. \nRetreatants gather together for approximately 8\, 20-minute silent prayer sits and 3 yoga sessions. Sits are separated by a meditative walk\, healthy meals\, yoga practice\, prayer with the monks\, and solitude for personal rest and reflection. \nDeepening retreats give participants the opportunity to exercise significant amounts of solitude\, silence and stillness within a supportive community; bringing more integration to the contemplative and active dimensions of life and faith. \nRetreatants leave Deepening retreats rooted in their spirituality and able to draw from a deeper well as they engage their active life. \nWe look forward to sharing sacred space with you. \nMore information and a link for registration can be found here.

SUMMARY:Mindful Silence Half Day Retreat | Chicago\, Illinois
DESCRIPTION:MINDFUL SILENCE:\nTHE HEART OF CHRISTIAN CONTEMPLATION\n  \n\n \nSATURDAY HALF DAY RETREAT\nLa Salle Street Church \nChicago\, Illinois\n\n\n\n \nMindful Silence really couldn’t be more timely. In some ways our society is spinning out of control. People are unhinged from the center and ground of being. This makes them ripe for the graces found in contemplative spirituality. On the other hand\, secular mindfulness is answering the anxious minds of many. But people of faith long for more. They want to link their meditation practice with their faith tradition. This is where Mindful Silence comes in. It helps Christians in particular\, but seekers from all walks of life in general\, to connect the needs of their body\, mind\, and heart with a wellspring of spiritual depth found in the Christian contemplative tradition.\nMindful Silence is rich with themes of the spiritual journey like “Discovering Darkness is Light\,” Finding Liberation by Discernment\,” and “Unknowing to Know.” Each chapter introduces the reader to a trusted teacher in the Christian contemplative tradition as well as historic prayer practice.\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nHalf Day Retreat Schedule\n\n\nSaturday  | March 16\, 2019\n9:00 AM- 1:00 PM\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nTo invite Phileena to speak\, lead a retreat or gathering\, or teach yoga\, please connect with us here.
