Details of this retreat
Enter into the sacred rhythm of Holy Week through a transformative four-day silent-directed retreat. This retreat invites you to accompany Christ through the days leading to Easter in a spirit of deep listening, prayer, and renewal.
Each day, participants meet privately with an experienced spiritual director who serves as a gentle companion and guide for your journey. Through these daily conversations, you’ll be supported in prayer and encouraged to notice how the Spirit is moving within you during this holy time.
Beyond these sessions, the retreat offers ample space for personal prayer, journaling, quiet walks, creative expression, or rest amid the peaceful grounds of Genesis. The schedule remains unstructured, allowing you to move at your own contemplative pace as you open your heart to the mystery of Holy Week.
