With the popularity and plethora of books and classes and systems of “time management\,” it is clear we hunger for a better relationship with time. The Benedictine tradition offers a different way. The liturgical hours of the day are a framework that help us access a time we rarely find: now. Learning to become present\, we meet the eternal now moment\, where we encounter ourselves and the divine. This retreat will be an experiential walk through the hours of the day; an exploration in music\, prayer\, and art of each hour’s gift to us; and an invitation to the present moment. We will make a book to contain our reflections\, our own “Book of Hours\,” to take home as a reminder and tangible way to tune into our days with praise and gratitude. \n\n\n\n*Includes all supplies\, a private room\, and meals. We will begin with a social on Friday from 6:00-7:00 p.m. All guests are welcome to stay for Sunday Eucharist\, followed by lunch\, before leaving. \n\n\n\nPlease register by January 2. \n\n\n\nAfter we receive your registration\, you can expect to receive a confirmation email from us which will include your invoice.
