What can I expect in attending the Come Away Silent Retreat ?
It may be a new experience for many, but we hope to model how to spend time apart to be quiet with the only intention being to sit at Jesus feet. Just to listen and worship him. To quiet the noise of life and be with Him. Learning to practice this spiritual discipline is to do what Jesus did. Going to a “solitary place” and get alone with the Father. Jesus did this as a regular practice.
What can I expect on a silent retreat?
As we gather at St. Benedict Center in Schuyler, NE, we will check in at 9 on Saturday and go to your assigned rooms. Some will share a room with another woman and others have chosen a private room. After you check into your room, please make your way to the silent dining room for instructions and options on how to experience this time of silence.
What we encourage!
· Total Silence for 24 hrs except when we gather for instructions or checking in as a group. A suggested schedule will be offered.
· This time is meant to also take our meals in silence in the silent dining room.
· We will offer support, yet it is a time for you to experience private time with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
· There will be no formal teaching or speaker.
· We encourage walking, sitting or exploring the many places at the retreat center for prayer and silence.
· No infants or children allowed.
· We encourage each participant to put away all electronic devices during this time.
If you chose to room with a friend, we encourage you to maintain silence.
The cost for having a private room is $120.00. A double occupancy room is $110.00 per person. Each registration includes four meals: lunch and dinner on Saturday, and breakfast and lunch on Sunday. The fee must be paid at registration. No refunds can be issued, but your reservation can be transferred to another person if you are unable to go, as long at it is communicated to Peg with the full name of the person taking your place instead.
The food is delicious and plentiful, but no special dietary needs can be accommodated.
This special time is meant to lay the groundwork for practicing a regular time away and alone with the Lord. Once you experience it, you will fall in love and look forward to doing it regularly. Any questions or concerns let Peg Christensen know at peg@citylightCB.org.
