Women’s Silent Retreat October 6–9, 2023 (Off Site)
Registration closed Sunday, September 24 but a wait-list will be maintained in case there are any last-minute cancellations.
We will gather at Glastonbury Abbey in Hingham for three days of reflection and Fellowship. We begin Friday evening with an opening circle, where each of us shares what we are bringing to the retreat, spiritually, emotionally, materially, whatever. Then we go into worship and are silent until the end of worship on Monday morning, when we have closing circle, to speak of what transpired for us during the retreat. In between we have worship, we eat together in silence, we smile at each other and laugh, passing each other in the hall, or the kitchen. We sit and read in the library, go for walks, sit in our own rooms to meditate or journal or read or knit, whatever. There is warm fellowship even though we are not speaking.
