Mark 6:31 "Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while."
Our world is full of chaos, hatred, and noise. Jesus called the disciples to come away and rest awhile. It would be good for you as well.
Friday, April 29-Saturday, April 30 I will be leading "A Quiet Prayer Weekend" for 10 women. We will gather at Benet Hall on the grounds of the Sacred Heart Monastery in Cullman, Alabama. Benet Hall is located on the banks of a beautiful lake. The Hall has a lovely porch for quiet reflection, in addition to the rest of the beautiful Monastic grounds and buildings.
We will explore various quiet prayer methods including "Praying in Color," journaling, praying the Liturgy with the Sisters at Sacred Heart, and quiet time alone.
Meals will be provided for Breakfast and Lunch on Saturday. You will need to have eaten before you arrive on Friday night.
We will begin our weekend activities at 6:30 on Friday night. You will be provided with a private sleeping room and a shared bathroom with one other participant. A small kitchen is provided where you can store snacks, drinks in the refrig, and use the coffee maker.
The Monastery provides the bedding, sheets, towels, and washcloths.. Guests need to bring their own toiletries and personal items. Comfortable clothing and shoes are recommended; however the Sisters prefer that shorts not be worn in the monastery chapel for celebrations of liturgy. Meals are served cafeteria-style.
There is limited availability for 10 participants only. The cost per participant is $120. A $25 non- refundable deposit is required by Feb. 20th. The balance is due at the time of check-in. Check in will begin at 6pm on Friday night. You spot is not secured until the deposit is received.
If you are interested in attending, please email me at kusmith@hiwaay.net to arrange payment.
