Location: Our Lady of the Pines Retreat Center in Fremont, Ohio (map)

Come away to a sacred space where all are invited to experience the presence of God through prayer, silence and solitude.  Other than an opening ritual, this retreat offers contemplative spaciousness where the daily rhythm consists of meals together in a silent atmosphere and spiritual direction sessions to share and explore the invitation of Spirit.

Your silent directed retreat offers you:

  • A week of observing silence

  • A daily rhythm that invites slowing down, rest, and deepening prayer

  • One hour each day with an experienced spiritual director to process your experience

Life questions that may lead you to consider this retreat:

  • Are you seeking a deeper connection with yourself and God?

  • Are you seeking a time for ongoing renewal, tending to your heart and spirit?

  • Are you facing an important decision and desiring discernment for the next step?

Comments from past retreatants:

God is constantly descending in the world. This retreat allows me to silence, and through that, increase the presence of the Divine in all things and all people. ~ Diane

I found this retreat to be so much more life-giving and full of grace than other “community” retreats because in the end, I was companioned on the journey to love myself versus being loved by others. I feel loved in ways I know will always be available to me. ~ Robin

What an incredible experience of joy, contentment, growth and deepening connection to the Divine. ~ Betty
