Silent Mini-Retreat for Lent | $35

Date: Saturday, March 29, 2025 | 9:00 am - Noon

Location: Assisi Heights Spirituality Center, 1001 14th St, NW, Rochester, MN 55901

Our bodies, minds, and spirits experience an abundance of information daily. We hear stories and interact with others in ways that are of personal, community, global, and cosmic significance. Have you made time for yourself, your true Self, in this ocean of activity?

 This silent half-day, mini retreat provides an opportunity to renew body, mind, and spirit in the company of others during the Holy Season of Lent. Our time together includes embodied practices such as a gentle morning stretch, silent prayer, reflection on sacred poetry, a community labyrinth walk, and a restorative guided imagery practice called yoga nidra.

 Why do these activities in silence, together, as a group? As Deborah Smith Douglas, Oblate, O.S.B. Cam. shares in her booklet, “On Silence,” we have largely lost the sense of silence in our culture and are increasingly afraid of it.”

Practicing silence allows an experience of deep rest, a reconnection with our true Self, and an awakening of the peace that passes all understanding. Feeling this transformation personally and seeing this peace shine back on the faces of the group, makes silence a blessing.

Please bring a pillow, a blanket or two, a mat to lay down on, and a journal to reflect on your experiences.
