Holy Week Retreat

After two years of disruption by COVID and other momentous events in our nation and world, we need time to take stock of the changes, losses and joys we have experienced. We are going through a transition on many levels, and our spirits need silence and a welcoming space to reflect on where we are now and perhaps begin to integrate some of what has happened to us. We need not be alone in whatever we carry.

The liturgies of Holy Week bring us face to face with the highs and lows of human life. They provide time to reflect on the intimacy shared by family and friends around a common table, the suffering and betrayal we inevitably experience in life and the hope we have at the heart of our faith.

Join the sisters and communities at Holy Wisdom Monastery for the Holy Week Retreat, April 14-17, 2022.

The rhythm of each day will include:

• Liturgy of the Hours (daily prayer)
• community meals
• guided discussions
• personal time and
• the rich liturgies of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, the Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday

At the retreat you will have time for yourself to journal, pray, walk, draw or simply be quiet. In our guided discussions, you will be introduced to some spiritual practices that can aid in your reflection. You will have an opportunity to speak what is on your heart in a safe place, if you wish. Let this retreat be a time to connect deeply with yourself and with the Holy in and around you.
