Enjoy a retreat at home...

Sometimes it is difficult to find time to come away for spiritual rest and renewal.

Enjoy a retreat in the comfort of your home with one of our online retreats:

>God's Delightful Voice ~ A Benedictine Spirituality Retreat
We live in a time when people seem to be “discovering” spirituality.  In an increasingly busy, shallow and materialistic society many of us are recognizing our need for God and our desire to grow in holiness.
 

>Praying With Julian of Norwich
Let Julian of Norwich will be your teacher, guide and mentor as you enter more deeply into the experience of God’s deep love for you.

>Hildegard of Bingen Virtual Herb Garden
As Benedictines we are inheritors of the tradition of St. Hildegard of Bingen, a prophet, visionary and Abbess in medieval Germany who wrote extensively about the use of herbs and plants in healing. In the tradition of Hildegard we are incorporating the use of herbal remedies in our lifestyle. For our friends who cannot visit our grounds and gardens this virtual herb garden will introduce you to the Benedictine tradition of care of the land and the remarkable work of St. Hildegard.

Frequently Asked Questions

>What is an online retreat?
A retreat is always a time to get away from our daily routine and take some special time for ourselves and to spend some time with God and deepening our faith life. Although it is nice to be able to go away for a retreat, this isn’t always possible. The online retreat is designed for people who want to make a retreat but aren’t able to get away. You can make this retreat without leaving your home or office.

 

>How does an online retreat work?
The retreat requires a regular commitment of time on your part. It works best if you set aside a certain amount of time everyday to read the input for that day and to do the suggested exercises and reflections. Many people find it helpful to keep a retreat journal during this time.

>How much time does an online retreat require?
You can set the time to meet your own needs and circumstances, but try to allocate at least an hour a day. It may be helpful to have half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the evening. The retreat is intended to be flexible to meet your unique needs. You can do one section a day, several sections a day or take several days to do each section. It is up to you.

>Can I do this with a group?
Absolutely! You may want to enjoy this retreat with a small faith sharing group. You can set a regular time to get together with others to share your experience with this retreat. If you meet regularly with a spiritual director the insights of this retreat may be a good topic for your meetings.
