Restore the Rhythm * Rebuild the Soul * Renew the Call
There are times when we need space. . .
space to breath, hear and
respond,
space for transformation and renewed clarity in our lives.
Join us on a wild
piece of land on Camano Island for our annual Celtic prayer retreat. We will set aside the busy clutter in our lives and
greet a quiet space for prayer and renewal.
Following the Celtic Christian tradition,
this retreat will incorporate the rhythms of work and rest, community
and solitude, prayer and biblical study. Throughout the day, we will
meditate on Scripture and listen for the movement of the Spirit on
forested prayer trails or in the wood-rimmed labyrinth. We will spend
time together for worship at the Eucharist service, a potluck lunch and
BBQ dinner, and fellowship around the fire pit. Truly, this will be a
spiritual retreat to restore rhythm in our lives,
rebuild our souls and renew our call to go out into the world.
