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.

Sarah’s Advent zoom retreat
It was very effective. The book, speaker and activities brought me to contemplate and connect with God’s voice throughout the Advent season. I look forward to the Lenten journey being offered. Thank you

Transition to renewal
Spending the New Year’s Holiday at the Genesis Spiritual Life Center was the perfect way to usher in a new year. Time to rest, relax, pray, and write and to do it with those of similar wants, was absolutely wonderful. It will be hard not to do it again next year.

A Simply Centered Advent: Mandalas, Crayoning and Prayers
I found this program very special. I didn't know what to expect but found the whole hour and the crayoning in particular very quieting and peaceful. Focusing on the crayoning with the background music allowed me to focus completely on what I was doing.
The presenter had such a calming way of offering the material and added interesting pieces of art that illustrated the mandalas we were working on.
I hope you will consider bringing Sharon back next Advent

Christianity in Crisis
Excellent program. Brother Dom’s presentation was timely, clearly articulated, and inspiring. I have attended previous programs by him, and he never disappoints.
I have one suggestion for Genesis. There was some confusion about the agenda, in terms of times of the sessions as well as when the actual sessions began and ended. It would be helpful if an agenda could be sent out the day before the program begins. As commuters, it was a bit challenging to make sure we knew exactly when we needed to be there and for how long.
That said, as always, the staff was welcoming, helpful and friendly.
