Join me for a weekend retreat on the Holy Mountain of the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement from Friday, Sept. 19, through Sunday, Sept. 21. Centered on the theme “The Journey Is the Goal: Learning to See Our Life as a Pilgrimage,” this retreat will allow us to step outside the fray of the busy world around us and explore the possibility that exists within the details of our days. When we are willing to approach life as a never-ending pilgrimage rather than a rat race, we begin to find more meaning, more beauty, more joy right where we are at any given moment, even the challenging ones. Come away for a few days and take the first steps on the pilgrim journey, one that requires no passport or plane ticket. We are all pilgrims on the Way.

In addition to formal presentations, this retreat will include journaling, dialogue, music, movement, and more. Optional yoga classes will be offered. There will be a limited number of spiritual direction appointments available for those interested. And there will be plenty of free time to rest, pray, and enjoy the beauty of Graymoor, which includes acres of land for walking, many beautiful chapels (indoor and out), a wonderful bookstore, a thrift store, and even an art exhibit. A little bit of everything. Join us!
