Community Silent Retreat (On Site / Open Zoom)
All are welcome to attend a silent retreat in the Meetinghouse and on Zoom on May 11 from 9:00am to 12:00pm. Pray, meditate, read, write in your journal, walk outside, lay down on a bench and nap… this is time for you to nourish your spirit with silence, stillness and peace. The Committee Room on the second floor of the Friends Center will also be open for those who would like to use a table and have any snacks or drinks that they bring with them (food and drink is not allowed in the Meetinghouse itself).
The major Meetinghouse and Zoom components of this retreat will be separate rather than hybrid, but there is a hybrid opportunity to join together from 12:00pm to 12:30pm to share any reflections. We understand that some may prefer to carry the silence with them as they depart rather than share.
We hope that participants will come for the full 3 hours, though participants are free to attend for a shorter time if this is what works best for them.
