Don't Miss Our Upcoming Events:
2023 Lenten Devotional.jpg

Lent is right around the corner.  This provides us another opportunity to build our relationship with God.  We will be using the book “Finding Our Fulfillment in Christ: A Lenten Devotional Study for Women".  This book has a short reading, prayer, and suggested action for each day.  Use the link below to order the book.  There is no additional charge.

 

We will meet by Zoom on Mondays (Feb 20, 27, March 6, 13, 20, 27) and everyday of Holy Week (April 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) at 7 a.m.  The recording of each session will be sent out to all who are registered in case you can’t join us in the morning.

As part of our Lenten time with God we are going to meet at the Cleveland Museum of Art and spend time in their Christian Collection.  We will have a short group tour with a docent and then you will have time to spend with the pieces that draw your attention.  We will end with a group reflection.

Living in the Moment - Spring 2023-2.jpg

Living In The Present Moment

 

In our society most of us live chronically distracted from whatever is happening in the present moment.  We are constantly preparing for what’s next.  We often get stuck in what happened in the past.  

 

God lives with us in the present moment.  He wants to meet us in the present moment to assure us that He is working to address our worries and concerns and impress upon us that we can put our trust in Him.  

 

Living in the present moment takes intentional effort on our part.  There is no way we can shut the distractions of life off, but there are ways to connect with God within daily life and there are priorities we can set that help reduce the distance we experience between us and God.  That’s what we’ll be exploring in this retreat.

 

Seeking Stillness retreats are typically not silent retreats, they are quiet and prayerful however.  Time on the retreat will be spent moving back and forth between short times of teaching and longer periods of individual reflection and prayer.  Group discussion will be held to a minimum and will generally occur over meals.  Time with and worship of God will be maximized!!

 

The registration fee includes lodging in a private room (shared bathroom) and meals all day Saturday and Sunday morning.  Massages are available during the weekend on a first-come-first-serve basis (indicate your interest on the registration form) at an additional fee.  Registration is limited and you are not considered registered until you pay the registration fee.  You can receive a full refund (minus a small processing fee) until two weeks before the retreat.  After that, refunds are only available if your spot can be filled by someone from our waiting list.  

 

Scholarships are available upon request.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Individuals will be officially registered for a retreat (and massage if applicable) or other event on the day when either: 1) their registration check has been received by the Program Manager, or 2) they have provided payment online. Registrations will be processed in the order received until all slots in the retreat/event have been filled. Generally, a maximum number of registrations will be set for each retreat/event and a final date for registration will be established and communicated. Individuals whose registrations are received after all slots have been filled will be put on a waiting list and notified accordingly.

Every attempt will be made to accommodate those who need to cancel. If cancellations occur before the registration deadline (two weeks before the event) the person who needs to cancel will have the choice of transferring their registration to an upcoming retreat/event or be refunded their payment minus a $10 processing fee. After the registration deadline (within two weeks of the event) refunds/transfer to another retreat /event will only be available if there is a waiting list for the retreat/event. Refunds of paid massages will not be available within the last two weeks before a retreat either unless there is a massage waiting list.
