DESCRIPTION:On-site \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRESCHEDULED TO JANUARY 30-31. We will announce the opening of our 2026 retreat registration in our monthly newsletter. \n\n\n\nEvery year\, thousands of people flock to theaters to immerse themselves in the beauty and grandeur of musicals. These stories\, set to music\, invite the audience into the lives of the characters in a special way through song and dance that follows the audience long after they leave the theatre. Come spend a couple of days enjoying various musicals from throughout the years and reflect on what they can teach us about faith\, morals and our connection to God. \n\n\n\nOur time together will begin with a social on Friday at 5:30. \n\n\n\nAfter receiving your registration\, you will receive a confirmation email from us which will include your invoice. We never want our retreat costs to be prohibitive to anyone who wants to attend our programs\, so we are pleased to offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now! \n\n\n\n*Read about our cancellation and refund policy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSr. Suzanne Fitzmaurice\n\n\n\nSister Suzanne has served as campus minister at Notre Dame de Sion High School\, then taught at Cristo Rey High School\, Kansas City\, before joining Keeler Women’s Center as associate director. In addition\, she has ministered as the IT and hospitality coordinator at Sophia Spirituality Center\, computer IT support specialist at the monastery and as the Monastic Congregation of St. Scholastica webmaster.

SUMMARY:Dreams: Our Own Personal Parables
DESCRIPTION:On-site \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWait-list\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is full. If you would like to register for our wait-list\, please do so! \n\n\n\nJesus often spoke and taught in parables—stories filled with metaphor\, symbolism\, and hidden messages that turned usual circumstances upside down. Our dreams at night are very similar\, and while they often seem important for us to process\, we may not know how to do so. Exploring dreams through different methods and from other perspectives can be helpful as we look to make sense of the mysterious stories that God\, the Dream-Maker\, sends to help us grow in holiness and wholeness. In this retreat\, we will explore some basic dream theory and ways to work with our dreams to facilitate new insights into the meaning and messages in our dreams. Sharing during the retreat will require some openness and vulnerability\, as you are invited to submit a written dream to process with your fellow retreatants\, but you can expect the experience to be both rich and fun. We will have some prayer time with Scripture and information/handouts about dream theory\, but the majority of our time will be spent exploring our night dreams. \n\n\n\nRegistration is limited to 6. \n\n\n\nPlease register by September 5. \n\n\n\nAfter receiving your registration\, you will receive a confirmation email from us which will include your invoice. We never want our retreat costs to be prohibitive to anyone who wants to attend our programs\, so we are pleased to offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now! \n\n\n\n*Read about our cancellation and refund policy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBernadette Graves\n\n\n\nBernadette “Bernie” Graves has been intrigued by dreams since she was about 8 years old. She is a 2013 graduate of the Souljourners program. Bernie has been on the Souljourners staff since 2015 and offers a mini-course on dreams for the Souljourners students. She recently retired from 40 years of laboratory work as an immunohematologist.

SUMMARY:Sacred Collage: Experience God Through Creative Expression
DESCRIPTION:On-site \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArt can be another form of prayer\, a way to center and open ourselves to an experience of God. Through creating\, we often feel renewed\, refreshed\, and re-created. This experiential retreat includes prayer\, lunch\, and art supplies. In three sessions\, we will create sacred collage using mixed media—images\, words\, decorative paper\, stamped prints\, and embellishments. After each session\, we’ll offer sharing and reflection\, asking questions such as “How did I experience the creative process?” and “What does my art tell me about the sacred?”  Our focus is the process and not the product\, so one need not be an accomplished artist but simply willing to play and engage the materials. Our theme will be sabbath and rest. \n\n\n\nWe invite you to consider adding an optional overnight stay (for an additional $65)\, before or after the scheduled retreat time\, to spend more quality time with God. Just let us know as you register\, and we will add it to your stay. \n\n\n\nPlease register by September 6. \n\n\n\nAfter receiving your registration\, you will receive a confirmation email from us which will include your invoice. We never want our retreat costs to be prohibitive to anyone who wants to attend our programs\, so we are pleased to offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now! \n\n\n\n*Read about our cancellation and refund policy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWendy Deering-Poynter\n\n\n\nWendy is an ordained minister serving as a church worship director. She is a spiritual companion\, yoga instructor and florist. She lives in a farmhouse with her husband and two children\, where she likes to dance in the kitchen and eat chocolate. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLisa Martin\n\n\n\nLisa is a spiritual companion\, quilter\, sewer\, and crafter. She works in public health and lives in a 100-year-old airplane bungalow with her cat\, Paisley.

SUMMARY:Sacred Elements: Encountering God in Wind\, Water\, Fire\, and Earth
DESCRIPTION:On-site \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEarly Christians spoke of two sacred books: the scriptures and the book of nature\, each offering insight into the presence and activity of God. Drawing on the rich symbolism of the Psalms\, the earth-rooted imagery of Jesus’ parables\, liturgical tradition\, and insights from the Christian mystics\, we will engage the classical elements—wind\, water\, fire\, and earth—as living metaphors that reveal God’s sustaining and transforming presence. Through prayer\, journaling\, and lectio divina in nature\, we will deepen our connection to God and grow in the awareness of ourselves as part of the sacred community of creation. \n\n\n\nWe will begin our retreat with a social\, starting at 6:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nPlease register by September 25. \n\n\n\nAfter receiving your registration\, you will receive a confirmation email from us which will include your invoice. We never want our retreat costs to be prohibitive to anyone who wants to attend our programs\, so we are pleased to offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now! \n\n\n\n*Read about our cancellation and refund policy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSr. Elizabeth Carrillo\n\n\n\nSr. Elizabeth has an M.A. degree in Religion and the Environment from the University of the South School of Theology in Sewanee\, Tennessee. She is a board and staff member of the Center for Deep Green Faith\, which provides offerings that blend eco-theology with eco-spirituality grounded in the Christian tradition. She is an alumna of the Center’s Contemplation and Care for Creation Certificate Program and provides workshops and retreats at Sophia Center and elsewhere.
