We will gather at Glastonbury Abbey in Hingham, MA for two 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 Sunday 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, pass 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. All who identify as women or non-binary are welcome.
The actual cost per person is $235, but there is flexibility based on need and generosity. It includes two nights and six meals. There is carpooling. Participation is limited to fifteen on a first-come, first-served basis, though we reserve spaces for new folks. Priority is given to those who are part of our community. You may sign up by email (see below) but must return your registration and check promptly to save your space.
