You are invited to experience big spaces of solitude and silence in community for the purpose of tending the inner fire of your soul. Inspired by the documentary The Big Silence with Abbot Christopher Jamison and encouraged by several Clergy School of the Spirit students, this 4-day mostly silent retreat is grounded in Ruth Haley Barton’s Invitation to Solitude and Silence. With liturgy for praying the hours, we have retained the basic rhythm of the week while meeting you where you are in today’s challenges. We invite you to “come apart” for an immersive time with God.

After the hectic holiday season, get away for a time of rest, renewal, reflecting, and recharging. Set a course for 2026 with deep listening to the Spirit and experiencing God's transforming presence.
