Silence and Solitude Retreat

We had an opening in our summer schedule and decided to do something very different.  We would take an inexpensive retreat and spend most of our time praying.  It was amazing!

Using a lot of information from the book Sacred Way, we taught several ancient prayer practices and spent time doing them.  We also used no electricity except A/C (if you live in the deep south you'll understand).  Paper for words, candles for lights, you get the idea.  

All you need to do is buy the book to prep each of the practices and come up with a schedule (Click here to download ours) and book or borrow an inexpensive place to get away.  Be prepared to change students' lives!
