You are warmly invited to step away from the noise and busyness of everyday life into a gentle, seven-day retreat inspired by the spirituality of Henri Nouwen.

This retreat unfolds over six days with a spacious rhythm of morning and afternoon sessions, combining reflection, silence, prayer, journaling, and shared listening.

Together, we will explore life’s deeper questions — identity, belovedness, suffering, peace, and how we are called to live — not to find quick answers, but to grow in awareness, compassion, and trust.

This retreat is especially suited to those longing for rest, renewal, and a deeper sense of God’s presence in ordinary life. No prior retreat experience is needed — only a willingness to come as you are.

Come and rest. Come and listen. Come and remember that you are already deeply loved.
