Description: 

Silent Monastic Living Retreat The simplicity and structure of monastic life allows you to quiet your mind, your heart, and your soul. Within this quiet space, you can leave behind the pressures of your material life, opening yourself, instead, to the tender embrace of the Divine. Come to embrace and be embraced by the beauty, joy and love of the Divine on this four-day silent monastic retreat experience. The daily schedule includes community prayer, rest, work, recreation and time to study/reflect on a portion of the Franciscan Institute’s Build With Living Stones: Formation for Franciscan Life and Work, edited by Trevor Thompson. This retreat will be facilitated by center director, Dr. Lori Randall, with assistance from center staff members, who will oversee work projects, and senior priest in residence, Fr. Robert Streveler, who will celebrate daily Mass and lead portions of the Liturgy of the Hours. Dr. Lori discovered the spiritual benefits of the monastic schedule while washing windows in the courtyard during Volunteer Week at St. Anthony’s. The gentle rhythm of prayer, work and rest in the context of a joyous community offered not just a welcome respite from her former career as a professor but also a profound level of peace, deep spiritual insight and a sense of rightness with the world. The retreat begins at 6 p.m. with vespers on Wednesday and ends after the noon meal on Sunday. Cost of the retreat includes all meals, overnight lodging and study materials. Complete daily schedule and list of study modules are available upon request; contact Dr. Lori at lrandall@sarcenter.com   or 715.443.2236, ext. 114. Capacity: 20 Cost: $350
