We need to recover an oasis of silence within the rhyme and reason of our active life,for it is in silence that we meet God face to face. —Max Picard
Gather at Rolling Ridge Study Retreat for Friday Vespers, followed by 7:00 pm dinner and Compline. Retreat ends following Terce/closing blessing at 10 am on Sunday. Gathered participants will follow contemporary Prayer of the Hours, interspersed with generous time for silence and exploring the forest, streams, and byways of Rolling Ridge’s 1400 acres of untouched natural beauty. Retreat includes five delicious homestyle meals, a “spontaneous community” of gathered lovers of silence, reflections by Lindsay McLaughlin, and gentle guidance for contemplative seekers.
The Simply Silence retreat will be held at the Retreat House at Rolling Ridge, but will be hosted by our sister community, Friends of Silence.
