May Day of Prayer – Tending the “Garden of our Soul”
“It was a great delight for me to consider my soul as a garden and reflect that the Lord was taking His walk in it!”  Teresa of Avila

 Whether gardening is your passion like it is for me, or if you are simply more of a nature observer like my Mom, we know that some of the most peaceful and reflective moments can take place in the garden as you prepare the soil, plant the seeds, water, weed and watch with delight the fruit of your labor. We will explore the “garden of our soul” and how we tend to it.

The day will run from 9:30 – 2:30 pm and consists of coffee, tea on arrival, a  conference, a simple lunch, Mass and an opportunity for the
Sacrament of Reconciliation. The cost is $35 per person. Registration is required by April 25th.

CHRIST OF THE FOREST: REST AND RENEWAL WITH NATURE 
     Presented by: Mary Frohlich, RSCJ

     When Jesus saw that his disciples were becoming exhausted, he took them to the forests of Mount Hermon for rest and renewal. In a time when many are experiencing deep exhaustion, he invites us to come away for a while and reconnect with the springs of living water flowing at the heart of all life. This retreat will offer times of guided reflection, contemplative prayer, and Forest Therapy,* all centered around the theme of deepening our relationship with the One who lovingly dwells in each and every created being. The retreat will begin Friday evening with supper and conclude with Mass. Departure will be by 5 pm Saturday.

 *Forest Therapy is guided time outdoors discovering and exploring our relationships with the living creatures and environments that surround us.  The grounds of Thomas Berry Place (although not forested) offer a refuge of calm and natural beauty in the midst of the city.

  The cost is $175 per person. This includes presentation, dinner, overnight, breakfast and lunch on Saturday. 

** Additional packages for those traveling include dinner Saturday, overnight and breakfast on Sunday for $150 additional, for $325 total.
