Among the many events held at Am Kolel Sanctuary, there are groups that offer retreats that are open to the public. These retreats provide opportunities for new experiences, for expanding present talents, skills and abilities, and/or to deepen your own practices with an intentional group.
Attending these retreats can support your own growth and interests, the groups themselves, and Am Kolel Sanctuary's mission and vision to provide an environment that honors body, mind and spirit.
Check out our complete calendar and see if something strikes your fancy! And if you know of groups looking for a beautiful space to hold a retreat or training, please guide them our way.

Retreat at Dayspring is a time to be silent, to expect an encounter with God in the interior and exterior silence made possible by the setting. Yet silence is always a gift, God's gift. We enter into retreat, rest, and are still; we wait, are open, and receptive.

The Shalem Institute has been a resource for prayer and deepening in the life of the Spirit for over 30 years and has earned a reputation for assisting people in developing a deeper spirituality in their work and personal lives.
Shalem provides programs and support for spiritual directors, clergy, leaders of contemplative prayer groups and retreats, other lay leaders, and individuals--all who seek to deepen their relationships with God and bring the gifts of contemplative living and leadership to their ministries.
Shalem programs are grounded in the Christian contemplative tradition, with its emphasis on being present to God in all that is, and are also graced by the contemplative wisdom from other faith traditions.
The depth and breadth of experiential programming, integrated with understanding of contemplative classics, spiritual community, and discernment for action have drawn thousands in the Washington DC area, nationally, and internationally. We hope you will join us.

WEEKEND RETREATS
- February 10-12, SEEKING WISDOM WITH PARABLES. “I will open my mouth in parables; I will announce what has lain hidden since the creation of the world” (Psalm 78:2 and Matthew 13:35). Parables, like silence, offer hidden gifts from God that may be discovered in unique and ever-changing ways. These ancient stories, grounded in everyday life, illuminate a deeper reality. This retreat will incorporate various tangible tools to let the treasures buried in parables emerge from our hearts.
- March 2-4, THE WORD MADE FLESH. How do we experience, discover, discern, and appreciate the presence of God in our everyday lives? What spiritual practices help us to sharpen the eyes and ears of our hearts so that we can pay close attention to this most important relationship? We will immerse ourselves in prayerful practices such as meditative walks, centering prayer, lectio divina and the holy silence of Dayspring in order to experience the Word made flesh in our own lives.
- March 23-25, "I ASK… THAT THEY MAY ALL BE ONE.” Jesus' prayer in the garden for his followers then, and his followers to come, is a challenge in this time of so much division. What is the 'oneness' Jesus has in mind for us today? How do we experience ourselves as 'one'? This weekend we will have the opportunity to explore these questions as we rest in the silence.
DAY RETREATS
- February 22, Ash Wednesday Quiet Day, 10-2
- March 7, Ember Day, 10-4
- March 20, Quiet Day, 10-2

Celebrate Saint Patrick's Day with Green Work at Rolling Ridge Study Retreat
Saturday, March 17, 2012
Calling all Members, Partner Groups and Friends!
St. Patrick loved to wield a rake, saw or garden hoe and we do too! Join us on Saturday, March 17, 2012, for a joyful day of working together on the land. We plan wood cutting, gardening and trail work.
Coffee and muffins at 9:30; work begins at 10. Lunch and supper provided. After supper join us for a campfire, Irish folk tales and more, music and games.
The Retreat House is open and available for overnight stays (no charge) on both Friday and Saturday. Bring your own food for meals other than Saturday lunch and supper. Hours worked count toward membership and partner group volunteer commitments.
This event is FREE, but you must register to attend. Please register by March 9 so we know how much food to prepare. To register, email Lindsay@rollingridge.net or call 304-724-1069.

"Pilgrim Companions"
The fundamental grace of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola can be found in the continual petition that is made "to know Jesus more intimately, to love him more intensely and so to follow him more closely." This year's retreat focuses our prayer on this petition and the deepening of our Christian life in this grace.
