Types of retreats

Centering Prayer retreats are for anyone who has completed the Introduction to Centering Prayer workshop or who otherwise has a Centering Prayer practice.

Intensive retreats are for people who have an established 6-12 month Centering Prayer practice, and who feel a longing to deepen their relationship with God through an extended time of silence and prayer. It is not necessary to have attended shorter-duration retreats before attending a 7-day or 10-day intensive.

The intensive retreats are structured for people who have not formerly completed a 10-day retreat, or who wish to deepen or renew their understanding of Fr. Keating's model of the Spiritual Journey.  In addition to the periods of Centering Prayer, retreatants will view and discuss some of Fr. Keating's Spiritual Journey video tapes each day.

Post intensive retreats are for people who have cultivated a taste for silence and are looking for increased periods of Centering Prayer, silence and solitude while on retreat.  Post intensive applicants must have formerly completed a 10-day intensive retreat. 

* Registration, deposits, cancellation & rooms

A deposit is required to register for & reserve a space at any retreat.  Payment in full is required 30 days prior to the retreat.  Cancellations within 30 days of the retreat will incur a deduction from your deposit/payment of what ever charges are incurred resulting from the late cancellation. 

Rooms will be double occupancy with a private bath, as a general rule. If single rooms are available at the time of the retreat, they will be made available, at extra cost, to post intensive and advanced retreatants and then others on a first-to-register and request a single room basis.

Costs may change during the calendar year, reflecting housing and food costs.
