Seasonal Quiet Day: Trust and Surrender

Wednesday, October 20, 2010
10 am - 4 pm
Retreat House

Please join us for our next Seasonal Quiet Day, this one celebrating Autumn: Wednesday, October 20, 10 am - 4 pm. You are welcome to overnight in the Retreat House Tuesday or Wednesday to extend your retreat time!

Our Fall theme is Trust and Surrender. During this time of year the wind picks up, the air turns crisp, and leaves fall "home." This is an invitation for us to let go deeper into God's loving embrace. "Come away and rest awhile" in the season's brilliant red and yellow beauty. Our day will include a gentle rhythm of guided meditations and silence allowing you to explore the landscape around you and in your soul.

There is no cost, donations are welcome. Bring a bag lunch. Please let us know that you are coming, contact Trish at tstefanik@aol.com or call 304-725-4301. See www.rollingridge.net for more information and directions.

Quote of the Day

LISTEN is such a little, ordinary word that it is easily passed over. Yet we all know the pain of not being listened to, of not being heard. In a way, not to be heard is not to exist. This can be the plight of the very young and the very old, the very sick, the "confused", and all too frequently, the dying -- literally no one in their lives has time or patience to listen. Or perhaps we lack courage to hear them.

We forget how intimate listening is, alive and fluid in its mutuality. It involves interaction even if no one moves a muscle and even if the listener says nothing. Vulnerability is shared when silence is shared.
