Gratitude Retreat

As we approach Thanksgiving, look towards Advent, and ponder the end of 2023, it is a great time to take a weekend in community with others and slow down, reflect, pause, pray, and “forget not all of God’s benefits.” Join us for a Gratitude Retreat at the Villa Maria Retreat Center in Pulaski, Pennsylvania, Friday–Sunday, November 17–19.

The retreat will flow in the simple rhythm of Stop… Look… Go…  We will gather in prayer & reflection and then scatter for time alone and quiet, in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. Friday night, we will STOP, get quiet, be still, and build stop signs in our lives. On Saturday, we will LOOK, listen, smell, taste, and hear the richness, notice the connections, drink in the beauty, smell the goodness, and savor what is being graciously given to us in this moment or season of our life. Then on Sunday, we will GO! We will ponder what gratitude practices we want to incorporate into our lives so we may stay awake to God’s goodness in our everyday, ordinary lives.
