In a world filled with increasing chaos and division, it's easy to become discouraged — to lose sight of where God is present and how close Christ remains. This retreat is an invitation to slow down, look more carefully, and rediscover the many places where Christ can be found: in scripture, in silence, in one another, and in the ordinary moments of our lives.

Take a few days’ retreat from your daily routine and come share with us the sacred silence at beautiful Mercy Center, Auburn.

During this intensive retreat, you will sit in silent meditation (zazen) within your own inner space and with like-minded others. You will be able to hear the voice that speaks within you and connects you with all that is.

THIS RETREAT HAS BEEN POSTPONED (New dates TBA)

This two-day retreat for nurses offers in-depth continuing education on key aspects of menopause care,  while also offering a chance to rest, recharge, and tend to your own spiritual needs in a peaceful and restorative setting. 

This retreat will explore the mysticism and teaching of two great visionaries and evangelists of the Christian tradition. Paul, in the first century A.D., creates a radical gospel based on his experience of the Risen Christ. Julian, in late medieval Europe, has 16 visions/showings/revelations of the dying and risen Christ, Jesus of Nazareth.

Join us for a 4-day retreat of contemplation and practice focused on the 11th Step. We will spend our time cultivating the tools of mindfulness to support our recovery.

A creative expression, inspired with the spirit and passion of Blessed Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Saint Mother Teresa. Facilitators Mimi Johnson and Alynn Allison Brutsman each bring a rich background in the areas of leadership, spirituality, ministry, scripture, contemplative prayer, retreats, and the arts.

This workshop is an exploration of living in relationships (personality types), especially those that are cause for frustration or conflict. The Enneagram provides the lens with which to 'see' the deeper truths that will serve to set one free from being triggered by the unhelpful assumptions, reactions and expectations that have been formulated.

In the midst of life’s demands, many women long for rest but find it difficult to receive. This retreat offers a sacred space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with God’s loving presence.

A 9-day, silent Centering Prayer retreat offering the Intensive I, Advanced Intensive, and Post-Intensive tracks.

We invite you to come away from your busy, noise-filled life to listen deeply to your still small voice and hear the longings of your heart.

During this Advent season, spend a weekend with the feminine power of the BLACK MADONNA. Through presentations, prayer, and silence, allow her power of healing and rebirth to touch the soul.

Spiritual directors continually confront the powers of regression and doubt along with breakthroughs from grace into love. This weekend will invite spiritual directors to enter that process themselves to embrace the transformation of shadow into love of self, others and the divine.

The transition between Christmas and the New Year is a sacred time of reflection, renewal, and spiritual possibility. Across traditions, this season invites us to pause, reconnect with what truly matters, and open our hearts to new beginnings.

Begin the New Year with clarity, stability, and purpose. Join John Bruna and Laura Bartels for this annual silent meditation retreat dedicated to cultivating the foundational practice of shamatha (calm abiding) meditation.

The Great Search 1 is the first of a three-part series of annual retreats led by the Celtic teacher John Philip Newell and his colleague Cami Twilling in which we explore the search for expanded vision, the search for intimacy with Earth, and the search for spiritual presence. This retreat is based on John Philip Newell’s book The Great Search.

Come rest in silence with other contemplative companions, and allow the mind, body, and spirit to surrender to God's presence and action within.

For many centuries, we've been chased away from our emotions, yet we understand now that emotions are essential to everything we think and every decision we make. Understanding our emotions, then, means understanding ourselves and others -- and our inner and outer worlds -- more fully. In this weekend exploration of the deep intelligence of your emotions, we'll learn new skills and practices to help us explore what emotions are, how they work, and how to work directly with their wisdom to improve every area of our lives.

This is a retreat for those who have attended multiple Intensive and Post-Intensive 8-10 day retreats and find themselves desiring yet longer sessions of centering prayer in community.  Three times a day there will be a session of three 30-minute periods of centering prayer. Once a day, we will watch a brief (about five minute) segment of the film “From the Mind To the Heart”, a conversation with Thomas Keating, which he created for this retreat.
