What are Quiet Day Retreats?
Quiet Days is a time to step away from the routine, structure, and stress of your life for a day. It is an opportunity to take some time away and dedicate yourself to connecting with the spirit and simply being with God in the peace and clarity of silence.
Most of the day is spent in silent reflection and observance of God. Time may be spent reading scripture, journaling, walking, napping, praying, and more. Through it all, the focus is on attending and listening to God.
It can be challenging to find solitude and silence in our busy lives. Connecting to God in this way is powerful and spiritually rejuvenating. It is a rare chance to truly rest one’s body, mind, and soul in the presence of God.
The focus is on attending and listening to God.
What Quiet Days can offer:
- Spiritual Awareness– An opportunity to focus solely on spiritual growth.
- Deepened Prayer and Meditation– A distraction free space conducive to otherwise difficult to achieve peace.
- Personal Reflection– Dedicated time and space away from your life, perfect for reflecting on your life, decisions, and spiritual journey
- Spiritual Renewal– A spiritual recharge, helping to rejuvenate your faith and commitment to God.
“And he said to them, ‘Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while’”
–Mark 6:31
