About this Event

At this year’s retreat, "To Dwell in God’s Tent: Widening the Tent Pegs of Benedictine Stability," we’ll consider and discuss the irreplaceable power of long-term commitments to a people, a place, and a purpose. Our lives deepen, our capacities for love grow, and we gain true wisdom as we remain. Our world needs women and men equipped with the practical ability to restore the broken forged only through a life of stability. The three sessions of this retreat will be related to the Camaldolese three-fold good of communion, contemplation, and mission. The venue will be the beautiful Holy Spirit Retreat Center in Encino, which has picturesque grounds and is home to the Sisters of Social Service, who are rooted in Benedictine spirituality.

The retreat will include the Liturgy of the Eucharist and Hours, Taize candlelight service, a musical recital, and opportunities for sitting meditation, walking meditation, or labyrinth walking.

Double or single accommodations are available on a limited basis. Commuter (3 meals) and Zoom registrations are also possible. If you need an ADA room, don't hesitate to get in touch with us at [email protected].
