Here at Nazareth we are celebrating the beauty of the Fall with colors and brisk days. We have noticed that the drought has taken its toll on the leaves this year...not quite so vibrant. I wonder if that can be said for many of us at this time of year?
The summer held much acitivty for us at Nazareth Retreat Center. We were graced by the presence of many retreatants over the the months of June through August. Directed retreats for women held many blessed days of sharing and simply exploring the goodness of life.
An especially gifted weekend was our time with Paula D'Arcy who shared with us "Great Lessons from the Journey." More and more women and men from around the greater Kentuckiana area and as far away as Wisconsin are coming to Nazareth to share in the beauty of the grounds, the hospitality and the giftedness of time apart.
In September we celebrated our first year anniversary. It is hard to beleive that only a year ago on September one we opened our doors for the first time. Throughout that first year we welcomed arounds 1800 retreatants. What a blessing to us. This experience affirms for us the longing of humanity for the time, space and companions for the journey inward to the true authentic self were God is found and from where we are called to service and compassion.
As we move more deeply into the Fall season and the upcoming winter months we invite you to come to Nazareth and experience for yourself that quieting of the mind and heart.
On November 5 - 7 we are inviting you to an "Art and Mandala" retreat. This is a contemplative time to draw upon the resources of the mandala, an ancient healing tool. The beauty of the mandala is that it speaks to the artist and novice artist alike.
With much excitement we invite you to join us for Miriam Therese MacGillis, O.P. a noted retreat presenter and author on sustainability and the new cosmology. She will help us explore "Advent from Deep Time." Come experience the "coming of Christ" through the lens of creation and deep time.
There are many other retreat offerings which we have planned for this coming year. Please view our entire list of retreats by clicking on the link above.
You are always welcome at Nazareth for your own quiet time apart. We are here to accompany you and assist you.
May these months of Fall fill your life with the warmth of the harvest and bless you abundantly in ever surprising ways.
