Online Retreat
Six-Week Retreat FAQ’s
How does this online retreat work?
You will receive three email reflections for six weeks. Each email will connect you to a written reflection to read, questions to journal, prayer practices to try, and music and meditations to bring the content into your heart and soul. A facilitator trained in spiritual direction will guide you through the journey.
How much time does it take?
You decide how much time you have for reflection and journaling, the prayer practices, and commenting/sharing with others online. Participants tell us they spend an average of thirty minutes on each reflection.
The retreat content is accessible for a year.
Is there time for sharing?
You will be invited to comment and share with others in a format similar to what you would do with a blog. While many come away surprised at the special connection they experience online, there is never pressure to share. Everyone helps create a respectful space with our Online Retreat Sharing Pledge.
There are also weekly live sessions on Zoom if you would like to share the week’s content with others. This is entirely optional.
I had never taken an online retreat before and I didn’t know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by the sharing. It helped me to know I am not the only person who wants more faith but has a hard time feeling close to God. I feel so much less alone. Thank you.

Is the online retreat live?
The online retreat is not live. You can access the retreat anytime that is convenient for you.
We offer live sharing sessions each week on Zoom to discuss the week’s content. The live portion does not provide new content and is optional.
Do I need to be tech-savvy?
Not at all. We have had participants of all ages and tech abilities, and most found it easy to participate. We are always available to help.
When I participate in the four-week online retreats, I feel a welcome to the deepest terrain of my heart. My uncertainties, struggles, and imperfections are welcomed with compassion. I feel invited to be authentically present to " what is " and to the reality of my life. The words and practices provide me with support and hope to pause and listen - within that reality - for the voice of the Divine. The community holds me - my hopes, my faltering steps forward. Each retreat is an environment of care and comfort. The retreats provide sustenance that nurtures my heart’s desire to respond to the Divine.
