Retreat Enhancements

Being on retreat is a renewing experience, but sometimes meeting with a spiritual director to discern together to gain spiritual insight can make your retreat even more fruitful. Or perhaps if life has been particularly stressful, a prayerful healing touch massage option may be just what you need.

Spiritual Direction

Spiritual direction sessions are hour long, confidential, one-on-one meetings with a spiritual director. Our spiritual directors are well trained and experienced. You can expect them to listen deeply and with compassion, while offering supportive companionship, as you seek to grow spiritually and process life-situations. If you would like to learn more about spiritual direction, or are ready to schedule a time to meet with a spiritual director, we can help you with that.

Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic massage, offered by Sr. Linda Zahner, promotes well-being and physical healing. Learn more.

God does not have hands, we do. Our hands are God’s hands. —Rabbi Lawrence Kusher
