Details of this retreat
As fractures in our society continue to widen, how do we tend what is broken without losing heart? How do we carry the light of hope when the darkness of the world surrounds us?
Join us for a conversation with Jan Richardson—acclaimed artist, writer, and ordained minister in the United Methodist Church whose work has accompanied countless people through seasons of grief, uncertainty, and renewal. Through her powerful poetic blessings and prose writings, Jan offers language and imagery that help us face hard realities with courage, compassion, and holy imagination.
Drawing from her own journeys into darkness and grace, she invites us to trust that even in places of deep rupture, light is already at work—not erasing the scars, but shining through them.
Come explore how we might become bearers of healing light in a broken world. We hope you will join us for this meaningful and timely conversation.
This program will be recorded and shared with participants.

Peaceful Retreat Setting
I've been bringing groups of students to Cranaleith for retreats for over 10 years now....and we will keep coming back! The staff is always so welcoming, the food nourishes my body and soul, and as soon as I step foot on the grounds I feel at peace. I highly recommend Cranaleith for their own retreat offerings and programs, as well as, a place to bring your work or school group to!

7 Day Individually Directed Silent Retreat
This was my second 7 day retreat at Cranaleith, in addition to ongoing individual spiritual direction since 2014. I recommend the sisters at Cranaleith for their compassionate and insightful direction. If you are looking to spend time in the serenity of God and nature, it is a worthy destination.
