Come for a Quiet Walk
With spring's slow arrival we watch and wait for the longer days and warmer temperatures. At the threshold of the season, we relish more time outdoors. You are invited to come by the Retreat House and enjoy the beauty of the trees as they awaken. Please come (with your dog, if you'd like) and take a walk beneath the "whispering pines," around the church, within the Labyrinth, or find a bench to be silent or still.

We hold this space for you to come and rest with the spirit. The gates are always open -- we hope to see you soon.
The Wisdom Café

Join us at the Wisdom Café, held each Monday from 12:00-1:00 p.m. on Zoom. It's an hour of friendly companionship--no commitment, no charge. Come and go as you please! 

Please enjoy this copy of "Thresholds" a lovely passage from John O'Donohue's book To Bless the Space Between Us. It inspired an interesting discussion, especially as we anticipate springtime! Perhaps you'll give the café a try next Monday. Feel free to invite a friend to come along and to enjoy this "time out" at the Wisdom Café! Here's the Zoom link  

If you would like to receive an email reminder on Monday mornings (which will include the zoom link,) please sign up here
