Gather at Still Point Mountain Retreat for Friday Vespers, followed by 7:00 p.m. dinner and Compline. Arrive Friday after 1:00 p.m. Retreat ends following lunch on Sunday. Gathered participants will follow contemporary Prayer of the Hours, interspersed with generous time for silence and rambling in the winter woods, warming around the fire, reading or writing in the library, reflecting through art or your own contemplative work, and enjoying one another in community. Come away and rest. A warm, comfortable log cabin and kindred spirits await.

Retreat include six delicious home-style meals, a contemplative library and art materials. Retreat Fee: $185.
