The Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows
2025-09-15 00:00 - 23:59 | KS
On this day, we remember Our Lady of Sorrows, who stood at the foot of the Cross, sharing in the suffering of her Son. Her heart was pierced with grief, yet she remained faithful and strong. In her sorrow, we find comfort and strength to carry our own crosses.

Mary, Mother of Sorrows, walk with us through pain and lead us to the joy of resurrection.

Sacred Collage: Experience God Through Creative Expression
2025-09-13 09:30 - 16:00 | Sophia Spirituality Center, 751 S. 8th Street, Atchison, KS, 66002
On-site

Art 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.

We 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.

Please register by September 6.

After 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!

The Feast of Saint John Chrysostom
2025-09-13 00:00 - 23:59 | KS
St. John Chrysostom, “Golden-Mouthed” preacher and Doctor of the Church, boldly proclaimed truth and lived a life of deep conviction. Known for his eloquence, compassion, and reform efforts, he called for justice and humility in the face of power. May we learn from his courage and eloquence in defending the Gospel.

St. John Chrysostom, pray that our words and actions reflect Christ’s love.

Dreams: Our Own Personal Parables
2025-09-12 15:00 - 2025-09-13 15:00 | Sophia Spirituality Center, 751 S. 8th Street, Atchison, KS, 66002
On-site

Wait-list

Registration is full. If you would like to register for our wait-list, please do so!

Jesus 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.

Registration is limited to 6.

Please register by September 5.

After 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!

Prayers of the Cosmic Christ: Reflecting on Teilhard de Chardin’s Vision (a 4-week series)
2025-09-04 13:00 - 14:30 | Sophia Spirituality Center, 751 S. 8th Street, Atchison, KS, 66002

Register

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was a twentieth century Jesuit, scientist and mystic. His work sought to bring together science and faith through his mystical incarnational understanding of the world. De Chardin’s thinking was well ahead of his time and is more relevant now than ever.

In this retreat, we will read Ursula King’s biography, Spirit of Fire: The Life and Vision of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, which will be the basis for our weekly discussions. Additional excerpts from de Chardin’s body of work will supplement the reading, and we will also spend time in group “spiritual exercises” to help deepen our understanding of his vision and how we can apply it to ourselves and our world today.

*Note: You are welcome to purchase the book on your own, or we can order and send it to you for an additional $25 ($85 total).

Please register by September 1.
