Summer P.A.U.S.E. retreat: Christian Contemplative Prayer, Holistic Healing, and Faith

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.

Summer P.A.U.S.E. Retreat Highlights
Our retreat, Christian Contemplative Prayer, Holistic Healing, and Faith offers time to:

• Deepen Your Understanding of Holistic Well-Being
  Explore the connection between Christian contemplative prayer, well-being, and embodiment as integral aspects of our holistic selves and knowing God (Psalm 46:10a).
• Recognize the Role of Prayer in Growing Faith
  Reflect on how Christian contemplative prayer influences and strengthens our faith journey.
• Contemplate Divine Healing and Transformation
  Gain a deeper understanding of how Christian contemplative prayer supports divine healing and fosters a transformative relationship with God.
• Experience God’s Presence in Nature
  Participate in a shortened Forest Therapy walk, blending Christian contemplative prayer with time in God’s creation (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 summer as we explore the richness of Christian contemplative prayer, holistic healing, and growing faith, all in the presence of God.

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

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