We are waiting to see if we will be able to safely reopen in time for this retreat. Please check back for updates.

Theme: Being Beloved. “Here is my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, with whom my soul is well pleased." (Matt. 12:18). Although we may “know” God loves us, it’s sometimes hard to believe this and live out of it. As God's beloved children we learn to be secure in the knowledge that we are always standing on holy ground. God loves us unconditionally. We can truly give our lives only when we understand and embrace every aspect of our lives, all blessedness and all brokenness, as belovedness. In the silence of retreat and the beauty of the changing season, and inspired by Henri Nouwen’s book, The Life of the Beloved, we will open our awareness to being beloved and explore what it means to live out of that transformational reality.
Leader: Grace Cangialosi is an Episcopal priest, currently serving part-time in a small rural church in Virginia and doing individual spiritual direction.
