If you are looking for a retreat opportunity, I would LOVE to have you join me for one of the 3 day/3 night spiritual renewal retreats that are coming up this summer and fall. Both of these Belly of the Whale retreats offer short morning and afternoon reflections on Jonah and contemplative practices, abundant sacred silence, creative prayer resources, spiritual direction, evening vespers and more.

July 10-13 we will gather at the Jesuit Retreat Center in Cleveland, Ohio which is truly Holy Ground for me. In the summer, the weather is perfect for walking the 67 acre wooded grounds or sitting on the benches and watching the deer graze nearby. Thanks to our on-site spiritual director, Laurie Tucker, we will have an indoor labyrinth set up and available 24/7 throughout the retreat. One of our evening Vespers services will be a beautiful, candlelight labyrinth walk.

September 11-14 we will gather at Bellwether Farm & Retreat Center in Wakeman, Ohio. This is a beautiful new facility that includes a 5 acre pond (fishing allowed!), working farm, private overnight rooms (including private bath), and ample hiking trails on 137 acres of gorgeous wooded land that borders the Vermilion River. The meals will be phenomenal and farm-to-table fresh. Our evening vespers will take place around a cozy campfire.
Registration is open and filling fast. There are only 2 more spaces available for the fall retreat and 5 more spaces for the summer retreat. Remember to register by April 10 to get the early bird savings for the summer retreat.
