Awakening to the Sacred in Daily Life
St. Michael’s Women’s Retreat, February 5-7
Hallelujah Farm, Chesterfield, NH
Women of St. Michael’s! You are invited to come away for a time of story-telling, prayer, play, conversation, nurture and rest in a beautiful, sacred setting. This is the first time in recent history that St. Michael’s has offered a women’s retreat. The idea arose out of a desire of many of us to deepen our relationships with the women at St. Michael’s in a prayerful and spacious setting where we weren’t “doing” but just “being” together. The setting of the retreat is the Lower Farm, a beautifully restored farmhouse from the 1700s. You can check out the Lower Farm at http://www.hallelujahfarm.com/new-the-lower-farm.html
We have planned the retreat around the theme of “Awakening to the Sacred in Daily Life.” To this end, we will explore questions about ways of approaching our daily life and work with an awareness of God’s presence in the midst of all we do. Between more focused times of learning, there will be time for rest, conversation, hiking, eating and basking in the warmth of the fireplace.
If you are interested in attending this retreat, please fill out the registration form found on St. Michael’s website, www.stmichaelsvermont.org , under “news” or contact Jeanie Crosby and she will send you a form. The retreat will begin on Friday evening, February 5 and end after lunch on Sunday, February 7. Space is limited, so please sign up as soon as possible. If you have questions about the retreat, please feel free to ask one of us, or email Mary Lindquist at mary@stmichaelsvermont.org
The suggested donation to help us cover the costs of room and board is $200. Sliding scale for overnight donation is $100-$200.
There is also the option to come to the retreat just for Saturday during the day. The suggested donation for Saturday Day Retreat is $35 (scholarships to cover the day donation are available).
We are very excited about this opportunity for us to come together for this special time.
