In the whirlwind of life, resilience can be an anchor that steadies us. Explore what resilience is and how we can strengthen it. This retreat offers a sacred pause—a time to rest, reflect and renew our inner strength. Through guided reflection, prayer, silence and practices that cultivate deep listening, we will explore how resilience is nurtured not through striving, but through surrender, trust and awareness of the Divine. Together, we will:
• deepen our understanding of the neuroscience of resilience
• explore practices to help us determine what we need
• enjoy guided meditations, contemplative prayer and singing bowls for renewal
• experience segments of solitude to gather our thoughts and deepen our connection with the Divine
• have meaningful conversations that honor intuition and discernment
This is an invitation to step away from the noise, reconnect with our inner wisdom and cultivate tools that can help us thrive. Whether we seek healing, clarity or simply space to breathe, we will leave with a renewed sense of strength, peace and presence.
This weekend retreat at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) will be facilitated by Leslie Schwarting; Rev. Jean Sullivan; and Ann Jackson, PBVM.
