There appears to be a growing interest in the monastic life among people of all lifestyles - and no wonder! For centuries, the monastic life has provided monks and nuns with disciplines and practices aimed at helping them maintain balanced, healthy and centered lifestyles while they "prefer nothing to Christ." Join us as we explore practices such as silence, prayer, work, simplicity, solitude, fasting, and celebration, and the benefits they have for all our lives.

What's exciting is that you can become a monastic without having to leave your day job!

Availability is extremely limited, so please reserve your weekend as soon as possible by e-mailing me at: dicksoncorp@parallax.ws

Quiet and Meditation: A "Radical Sabbatical"

Portiuncula Hermitage and Retreat Center

Where there is quiet and meditation, there is neither preoccupation nor dissipation.

Please keep all of us in your prayers this weekend. I will be leading a Contemplative Retreat at the Portiuncula beginning tomorrow and won't be back until late Sunday evening. Three days of Quiet and Meditation, coupled with a hard fast on Bread and Water only! (And now you know why we affectionately refer to this Retreat as a "Radical Sabbatical!")
