Winter Rest: A Seasonal Retreat

Registration is sold out

About This Event

As the earth rests under blankets of cold and snow, we also need to rest. This retreat invites the season of winter to teach us to stop striving; it invites you to a time of tranquility and silence. It will open the space to consider how winter prepares us for the other seasons of our lives, to rest in deep quietude, to be held by the stillness of the prairie. Conversations about the season, walks on the prairie, a long winter’s nap, art, movement, journaling, great meals, and warm beds will all be a part of what you can expect when you arrive. A renewed connection to yourself and to nature are what you can expect to take with you when you leave.

Arrive between 11:30 am and 1:00 pm on January 10th to check into your room. The retreat will conclude at 4:00 pm on Saturday, January 11th. 

After you register, if you would like to request a double room with another retreatant or if you have other questions about accommodations, please contact Kathleen Owens at kowens@holywisdommonastery.org.

Cancellation policy - If you register but must cancel your registration, you may receive a 75% refund up until Dec. 29th. After that, a 50% refund is available.
