Oil of Gladness Silent Retreat

An Introduction to Silence, Solitude and Contemplative Meditation
September 6, 7, & 8th

by Jane Flora Swick, Spiritual Director

This retreat will be held in Williamsburg, Kansas and is prepared just for you to be quiet, dial down into shalom, and discover Father's delight in being with you! This will be a time and space to wonder with Holy Spirit, wander with Jesus and attune to our triune God.

This retreat will begin in a group setting, sharing together around themes of our Image of God, the difference between silence and solitude and an introduction to Contemplative Meditation.

What This Retreat Offers: Designed to give followers of Jesus a space to pull away from daily life and be alone with God in a rural setting with a pond, buffalo and walking trail. Retreatants will learn about dealing with distractions and setting a rhythm in one's prayer life. Spiritual Direction will be available if one desires.

You’ll learn about practicing contemplative meditation that will be transferable to one’s prayer life at home. You’ll also learn about dealing with distractions and setting a rhythm in your prayer life.

Training our minds to be still, learning to listen for the speaking voice of God, and how we can interact with the Creator of the Universe are at the core of this retreat.

There will be simple meals personally prepared for you. Some meals will be in silence and some will be together where all retreatants will be invited to share their silent retreat journey if so desired.

You’ll walk away from this event having learned to be quiet with God and know He enjoys being with you without an agenda and that the joy of the Lord is truly your strength, and that He is gladder than glad to be with you!
