Fall P.A.U.S.E. retreat: Christian Contemplative Prayer, Well-Being, and Embodiment

Fall P.A.U.S.E. retreat:

Christian Contemplative Prayer, Well-being, and Embodiment

About our 4 seasonal P.A.U.S.E. retreats

(P.A.U.S.E.—_­Prayer and Understanding Silent Experiences)

We warmly invite you to our 4 seasons of P.A.U.S.E. retreats—sacred opportunities to appreciate the seasons, rest, reflect, and nurture your connection with God. These retreats center on Christian contemplative prayer, offering space for spiritual formation, soul care, holistic healing, and deepening faith. Guided by the words of Psalm 46:10, “…Be still, and know that I am God…,” our seasonal P.A.U.S.E. retreats explore unique aspects of spiritual growth and renewal.

While quiet moments of prayer are at the heart of our retreat, we also embrace times of fellowship, learning, and holistic nourishment—a rejuvenating pause amidst life’s busyness.

Fall P.A.U.S.E. Retreat Highlights

Our retreat, Christian Contemplative Prayer, Well-being, and Embodiment offers time to:

• Deepening Contemplative Prayer

Explore the transformative power of Christian contemplative prayer and its deep connection to holistic well-being—body, mind, and spirit.

• Cultivating Stillness in God’s Presence

Opportunities to be still and present in God’s presence, enriching your relationship with Him (Psalm 46:10).

• A Sacred Pause from Life’s Busyness

Pause from the demands of daily life to reconnect with inner peace and stillness. (Ecclesiastes 4:6).

• Experience God’s Presence in Nature

Enjoy a shortened Forest Therapy walk, combining Christian contemplative prayer with time spent in nature, experiencing God’s presence in the beauty around you (Romans 1:20).

(Note: You may sign up for full-length Forest Therapy walks on up-coming dates at  St. Placid Priory.)

We invite you to join us this fall as we seek to grow in our understanding of Christian contemplative prayer, embrace precious times of quiet, and rest in God’s presence.

~Be blessed and strengthened in the stillness of God’s presence~

(Isaiah 30:15a; 2 Corinthians 3:17-18, NIV)
