SUMMARY:Winter Rest: A Seasonal Retreat
DESCRIPTION:“It all was wonderful! Amy (Alstad) and Pam (Shellberg) put together a wonderful program that balanced contemplative time and more active time. I loved the various quotes that spurred thought and contemplation. I appreciated the camaraderie with my fellow retreatants and had some wonderful conversations. It was nice to balance alone time with time with others and always the choice to do what was right for me at the time.” \n–2025 Winter Rest participant \n  \nAs the earth rests under blankets of cold and snow\, we also need to rest. This retreat invites the season of winter to teach us to stop striving; it invites you to a time of tranquility and silence. It will open the space to consider how winter prepares us for the other seasons of our lives\, to rest in deep quietude\, to be held by the stillness of the prairie. \nConversations about the season\, walks on the prairie\, a long winter’s nap\, art\, movement\, journaling\, great meals and warm beds will all be a part of what you can expect when you arrive. A renewed connection to yourself and to nature are what you can expect to take with you when you leave. \nSeasonal Retreats\nEach season this year\, we will offer a different seasonal retreat. They will open spaces where each different season can offer its unique wisdom to us in the changing seasons of our lives. Each retreat is a two-day\, one-night experience at Holy Wisdom with cozy accommodations\, delicious meals\, spacious time periods for solitude\, reading and rest and contemplative conversations with other retreatants. There will also be a variety of opportunities to explore the prairies and the season and discover their gifts for you.  \nWinter Rest Date/Times\nWed.\, January 14\, 1:00 pm – Thu.\, January 15\, 4:00 pm\, 2025 \nArrive between 11:30 am and 1:00 pm on January 14 to check into your room.
