Restore the Rhythm * Rebuild the Soul * Renew the Call
There are times when we need space. . .
space to breath, hear and respond,
space for transformation and renewed clarity in our lives.
Join us on a wild piece of land on Camano Island for our annual Celtic prayer retreat. We will set aside the busy clutter in our lives and greet a quiet space for prayer and renewal.
Following the Celtic Christian tradition, this retreat will incorporate the rhythms of work and rest, community and solitude, prayer and biblical study. Throughout the day, we will meditate on Scripture and listen for the movement of the Spirit on forested prayer trails or in the wood-rimmed labyrinth. We will spend time together for worship at the Eucharist service, a potluck lunch and BBQ dinner, and fellowship around the fire pit. Truly, this will be a spiritual retreat to restore rhythm in our lives, rebuild our souls and renew our call to go out into the world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you would like to come up for the whole weekend, you are very welcome, but keep in mind that the land is completely undeveloped. Bring a tent and a sleeping bag to sleep in, plenty of water, and food for Friday evening and Saturday and Sunday mornings. There is a port-a-potty on the land. Friday is dedicated to a bit of manual labor to prepare the land for guests, and on Sunday morning, we will have a short worship service after breakfast. We will also do morning and evening prayers together Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Start praying now for good weather!
