Simply Silence: Winter

Silence through the seasons
February 7-9, 2014
Friday 1 pm - Sunday 10 am
Sponsored by Friends of Silence at Still Point Mountain Retreat

I long to slip into cracks of silence where breath is connected to spirit and spirit to wind and a sense of oneness resonates in my core — Karyn D. Dedar

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 10:00 a.m. Sunday. Gathered participants will follow Prayer of the Hours until Sunday morning, interspersed with ample times for silence and rambling in the winter woods, warming around the fire, reading or writing in the library, reflecting through art, and enjoying one another in community. Come away and rest.

Come to experience an age-old prayer tradition for contemporary pilgrims. Come for expansive views and miles of solitude. The retreat includes 5 delicious home-style meals, a contemplative library and art materials. Cost: $175.

To register, contact Lindsay@rollingridge.net. Still Point Mountain Retreat is located near Charles Town, West Virginia, adjacent to Rolling Ridge Foundation's 1400-acre nature preserve.

Our soul is here to perceive past the limitations of our five senses, past the limitation of the world around us.
