Quiet Day
First Tuesday of the Month
10:00 am - 2:30 pm
Open to all. No sign up needed.
“May we not neglect the silence printed at the centre of our being. It will not fail us.”
Come join us for quiet and centering surrounded by the trees. The house and trails are all open and available. At noon, we will offer Simple Presence, a shared time of silence for 10 minutes.
The hope for this time is that you will take a break from the rigors and demands of your normal routine — we know this is not easy! — to pause and listen to your deepest self and to God within. We hope that you will go back into the world refreshed and with clarity towards right action.
When you join us for quiet day, we encourage you to consider:
Really unplugging from the demands of the world. Pause the tendency to produce, achieve, scroll …
Trying a new practice to help with slowing down, paying attention, and listening.
Creative tools and contemplative practices will be available.
Starting in September, a trained Spiritual Companion will be available on Quiet Days to offer deep listening and prayerful conversation to support your spiritual journey. We will also offer a guided Quiet Day experience for those who are interested. Stay tuned!
Many people seek spiritual direction/companionship for questions and conversation surrounding faith, doubts, longings, discernment, and living with more meaning and purpose. No appointment needed, just drop by and join us in a rocking chair.
RSVP
Monthly Quiet Days are an ongoing practice at The Trees.
We invite you to rsvp so that we can better welcome you, but it is not required.
Please feel free to join us at any time during the open house.
