Sisters to host ‘A Day of Rest at The Woods’ retreat in April

Those who need more peace and rest in their life are invited to join the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, for the upcoming “A Day of Rest at The Woods” retreat in April.

The retreat will take place from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., on Saturday, April 5. Other retreats have also been scheduled for Saturday, July 19 and Saturday, Nov. 1. The times for the remaining retreats are the same.

There are messages we hear in our culture that suggest if we work harder, we will produce more and do better. But that can make us feel tired and disheartened. We can hear the need for rest if we listen to our bodies. If we listen to our hearts, we might hear our Creator whisper that we are beloved images of the Divine. How can you listen?

Join facilitators Sister Mary Montgomery, SP, Providence Associate Marilyn Webb and others while enjoying purposeful quiet and contemplation while having the options to join others in prayer, meet with a spiritual director, spend time alone and rest in many sacred places at the Woods.

Cost is $75 for each day, which includes the option of a private room, box lunch and spiritual direction. Lodging is available upon request for an additional fee.

The registration deadline to attend the first retreat is April 3.

Register online or call 812-535-2952 or email provctr@spsmw.org.
