A Women's Retreat is a primarily silent retreat. Women come together and reflect on the retreat's theme in order to deepen their relationship to God. The times of sharing experiences are optional but very rewarding. These retreats are intended for women of all ages and walks of life. A Meditation Intensive Retreat is built around periods of sitting and meditative walking together, interspersed with talks from the retreat leader.
Private conferences are available.
The entire retreat is silent. Participants use the method of their choice to focus during meditation. Men's Retreats give time for reflection, small group discussion, presentations, and free time in the afternoons. The retreat has periods of silence and instruction in meditation practice, but meals are not silent. Through sharing and common experience, the men form a strong sense of community.
