About this Retreat

Your Guides

Details of this retreat

Lines – short or long, wide or narrow, are all around us. Once we become aware of the lines in our lives we will see them everywhere. They are sacred.  We will explore lines of many shapes that when put together make beautiful images.  Our world at this time needs the power of beauty to move people to reflect on life and to take action.

This Retreat is for anyone whishing to take a look at lines and take the next step to draw them.  No art background is necessary, but your enthusiasm is!

You will experience time in prayer; time with pen and paper; time of looking at nature and surroundings; time of sharing; time of learning. This will be a quiet day of time suspended.

We will begin and end with prayer.  Morning Praise with the Sisters is available.  You will need a black, thin, felt-tip pen.  S. Monika will provide paper and pencils.  Bring your enthusiasm, too

Towels and linens are provided, but please bring your own toiletries. Bathrooms are shared and showers are available. Retreatants are welcome to join the Sisters for Mass, Praise, and meals.

Zentangle with Sister Monika
I love the zentangle classes with Sister Monika! She starts and ends the classes with thankfulness for the day, for the paper and drawing tools and then gently leads us into creating zentangles. I have been taking her classes for a long time and continue to learn so much.

Serenity
When I need time to quietly be, to regain my serenity from living in a world of turmoil, St. Placid Priory is my choice. Here I can simply be, listen to the birds, listen to God.

Quiet Welcome
My time at the Priory provided me with the much-needed rest and pause for my sabbatical. The grounds breathe with a Spirit-filled serenity that I continue to carry with me, even after I've left. The best part is the welcome by the Sisters and Janice who are willing to open up their home and lives to their guests.
