Refresh Silent Retreat Summer 2026 (full weekend)
August 28-30, 2026, Mariandale Retreat Center, 299 N Highland Ave, Ossining, NY 10562
Come and experience a deepened sense of knowing God and being known by God. Our time will be a communal soul sabbath where we enter into and close our time in silence collectively. The retreat is unhurried and guided with contemplative prompts with the spaciousness to participate as you wish. Our hope is that you leave affirmed, nourished and refreshed with a deeper awareness of God's closeness to you on your unique journey with Him.

Drop-in listening groups are designed for those curious about the group companionship journey. These introductory sessions provide a welcoming space to explore a different prayer practice while experiencing a simplified format of group spiritual direction. We are offering the same experience with multiple dates.
Spiritual Direction Wednesdays
Wednesdays only, June 17 - July 29 @ Google Meet
Have you been curious about Spiritual Direction? Perhaps now is the time to try it. In a Spiritual Direction session, you enter into a conversation and a trusting relationship in which your director helps you to notice and respond to the movement of God as experienced in prayer and in the events of everyday life.
Each session will last about 45 minutes and will take place in a Google video meeting. Register at least 24 hours in advance for the time slot you desire.
We are now piloting Spiritual Direction Wednesdays this July for free!
