  • Advent Series: Making Our Way in the Wilderness (in-person)

    Holy Wisdom Monastery 4200 County Road M, Middleton, WI, United States

    Several of the scripture texts we'll hear this Advent season draw our attention to the wilderness. The gospel writers highlight John the Baptist – a man living in the desert, his voice crying in the wilderness – as the one heralding the arrival of the Christ. The prophet Isaiah calls the people to prepare a way in the wilderness for this arrival. Monastics in the early centuries went into desert wildernesses specifically to clear a path so that the Spirit could more easily reach their souls. We have all had desert experiences at one time or another; we have all ...

  • Winter Rest: A Seasonal Retreat

    Holy Wisdom Monastery 4200 County Road M, Middleton, WI, United States

    Winter is a season of slowing down. Days end earlier with less sunlight, poor driving conditions keep us close to home, lots of one-pot soups and stews simmer on the stove, more books get read. The earth rests under blankets of cold and snow and we long for some deep rest, too. This retreat is an invitation to stop striving and to settle into the silence of winter and the tranquility of the prairie’s seasonal stillness. It is also an invitation to consider our experience of interior winters, how we can best live in them, and to welcome how they ...

  • Holy Week Silent Retreat

    Holy Wisdom Monastery 4200 County Road M, Middleton, WI, United States

    “In silence and in hope shall our strength be.” Isaiah 30:15 Anyone who would like to experience a deep and sustained silence in the quiet companionship of others is invited to the Holy Week Silent Retreat. For some, this retreat will be an opportunity to contemplate and participate in – with greater intention – the texts, liturgies, and prayers of Holy Week. For others it will be an opportunity simply to enter a time of sustained and uninterrupted silence. For all, it is an invitation to live the rhythms of monastic life in an extended retreat experience. Optional contemplative engagements ...
