Give Us This Day— Making Bread As a Spiritual Practice: A Hermitage Way Retreat

We pray to God, “Give us this day our daily bread,” and then discover that we usually provide our own, without remembering God’s promise to provide “all these things” if we “seek first the Kingdom of God.”

Join David Wenger for a contemplative approach to making bread. The day will include making bread together along with personal reflection on receiving, waiting, expanding and resting.

This retreat focuses on the Hermitage Way practice to “study or explore fields of interest in which a contemplative perspective is applied.”

Morning Prayer is held at 8:00, before the retreat, and open to all.

This retreat is offered without cost to Keepers of the The Hermitage Way. Others should plan on a $50 donation.

Registration for Keepers of The Hermitage Way is open now. Registration for all others will open March 17.

If you choose to stay overnight before or after the retreat, please make a separate reservation for lodging when you register for the retreat. Register by email (use the contact form on this web site) or telephone: (269) 244-8696.

Lectio Divina, Hearing Divina, Visio Divina

 

This retreat has been re-scheduled from 2015. 

The spiritual practice of “sacred reading” (Lectio Divina) enables us to continually turn our minds to God, paying attention to God’s presence in our daily lives. This retreat will explore, through teaching and practice, how we can turn our hearts and minds to God using our different faculties to “read” the world and our selves. We will practice Lectio Divina (Friday evening), Hearing Divina (Saturday morning), and Visio Divina (Saturday afternoon).

This retreat will be led by Kevin Driedger and June Mears Driedger.

Please register by May 20, 2016.
