If Today You Hear God's Voice: A Day of Stillness at the Springs

We live in a noisy world that constantly clamors for our attention. In the midst of these interruptions, we are still offered the sacred invitation to pause and be still. When we persevere in silence, we open ourselves more fully to the possibility of hearing God's whisper. Thomas Merton reminds us: “It is not possible to undertake this journey inward without close intimacy with the Lord and a great deal of listening, which requires inner peace and silence.”

Join us for an afternoon of teaching, prayer, and reflection. Lunch is included with this retreat.
