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.
Spring P.A.U.S.E. retreat highlights
Our retreat, Christian Contemplative Prayer and Soul Care offers time to:
Understand the Connection Between Soul Care and Well-Being
Reflect on how caring for your soul contributes to your holistic well-being (3 John 1:2).
Embrace the Role of Soul Care in Daily Life
Explore the transformative power of Christian contemplative prayer and resting in God’s presence as essential elements of soul care (Psalm 23:2-3a).
Deepen Your Relationship with God Through Soul Care
Recognize how nurturing your soul fosters a closer more intimate relationship with God (Deuteronomy 4:29).
Experience God’s Presence in Nature
Participate in a shortened Forest Therapy walk, integrating Christian contemplative prayer with time spent 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 spring as we seek renewal, rest, and a deeper connection with God through the practice of Christian contemplative prayer and soul care.
~Be blessed and strengthened in the stillness of God’s presence~
(Isaiah 30:15a; 2 Corinthians 3:17-18, NIV)
