Join us for a Guided Meditation on the theme of salvation that Jesus offers to us all. For this meditation, we will focus on the story of Zacchaeus and how he is called by Jesus to come down from the sycamore tree to receive the gift of salvation. Here we are reminded that Jesus offers this gift to each of us, despite our unworthiness and lack of faithfulness. In our meditation, we will be invited to let go, to risk climbing down from our perch, and to be open to sharing at the table—accepting the salvation Jesus has claimed for us.

Our time together will include scripture reading, a guided meditation, quiet private reflection time, group sharing, and a closing prayer.

Please register by February 28.

After we receive your registration, you can expect to 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 and so we offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now!

Contemplative Mandalas

While we know many types of prayer such as spiritual reading, lectio divina, liturgies, and contemplative prayer, few people are aware of praying with the spiritual art of the mandala. This Contemplative Mandala workshop introduces a method of prayer that is—as all prayer is—relational, healing, and insightful. One need not know how to draw, for all that becomes in the created piece is the work of the Spirit. The Contemplative Mandala reveals the beauty of our inner being. This prayer art method was introduced to Sharon on a silent retreat and since then has remained a deeply personal experience of intimacy with the Spirit through the years. You are invited to explore the mandala art prayer in the sacred space of the Sophia Center.

Please register by February 28.

The Feast of St. Patrick
2025-03-17 00:00 - 23:59 | Kansas
St. Patrick’s Day honors St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, who brought Christianity to the country and inspired generations with his messages of hope, faith, and perseverance. While it has deep roots in Irish culture, St. Patrick’s Day has evolved into a global celebration of unity and heritage. From wearing green to enjoying music, food, and parades, this day invites everyone to join in the fun and reflect on the values of resilience and community. Whether you’re Irish or not, the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day is about coming together, embracing diversity, and celebrating the power of transformation. So grab your shamrock, share a meal with friends, or simply enjoy the festivities! It’s a day for all of us to participate in and appreciate the joy of togetherness.

The Feast of St. Joseph, Husband of Mary
2025-03-19 00:00 - 23:59 | Kansas
Today, we honor St. Joseph, the husband of Mary and the earthly father of Jesus. Known for his humility, faith, and dedication to his family, St. Joseph is a model of quiet strength, integrity, and selflessness. Though not often in the spotlight, his role in the Holy Family is foundational, showing us the power of love and responsibility in the face of uncertainty.

Today is an opportunity to reflect on his virtues and how we can embody his example in our own lives. It’s about honoring the importance of family, community, and working with integrity, while also recognizing that we all have a role to play in the stories of those around us.

Sabbath on the Lenten Journey—Experience God Through the Creative Expression of Collage
2025-03-20 09:30 - 16:00 | Sophia Spirituality Center, 751 S. 8th Street, Atchison, KS, 66002
On-site

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we must cancel this retreat. Hopefully we will be able to offer it at a later date.

Art can be a form of prayer—a process to center ourselves and open up to experience God. In this experiential retreat we’ll create sacred collage using mixed media, incorporating images, words, decorative paper, stamped prints, and embellishments. Reflection questions will include “How did I experience the creative process?” and “What does my art speak to me of the sacred?” Our focus is the process, not the product, so one need not be an accomplished artist, but simply be willing to play and engage with the materials.

After we receive your registration, you can expect to 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 and so we offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now!

*Read about our cancellation and refund policy.

The Feast of St. Benedict
2025-03-21 00:00 - 23:59 | Kansas
Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Benedict, the patron saint of Europe and founder of the Benedictine order. His rule, emphasizing prayer, work, and hospitality, has inspired generations to live lives of balance, faith, and service. St. Benedict’s message reminds us of the importance of seeking God in the everyday, finding peace through simplicity, and building strong, loving communities.

On this feast day, let us reflect on the wisdom of his teachings and how we can bring more peace, joy, and love into our lives and the lives of those around us. May we, like St. Benedict, strive to live with intention, humility, and devotion, seeking God in all things.

The Feast of the Annunciation of the Lord
2025-03-25 00:00 - 23:59 | Kansas
The Annunciation of the Lord marks the moment when the angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would conceive Jesus. This moment of profound faith, trust, and obedience reminds us of the power of saying “yes” to life’s unexpected calls. Mary’s willingness to embrace her role in the divine story serves as an example of courage and openness to the unknown.

While this day is rooted in Christian tradition, the message of the Annunciation resonates with all of us. It’s about being open to new possibilities, trusting in ourselves, and having faith in the journey ahead — even when it seems daunting. Whether you celebrate religiously or simply reflect on the themes of hope, trust, and acceptance, the Annunciation reminds us that we all have a part to play in the world around us.
