Dayspring Retreat Center

Telephone (301) 428-9348

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.

Praying with the Mystics Series
Make a Date with a Mystic
A Free Series and Open to the Public

Tuesdays, 7:30-9pm
January - June 2010

"When I think of mystics, I think of ordinary people living out an incredibly intimate experience of relationship with God - gifted, too, with wisdom, grace and spiritual communion. And I wonder what the message is for me in my life today."

Please join us Tuesday evenings as we immerse ourselves in the stories of fourteen ordinary men and women who led extraordinary, God-gifted lives. Learn what they have to teach us today and how their lives can still inspire and influence us.

Each evening will include an introduction to the mystic, prayer, and small group sharing. No registration necessary. Free will offerings gratefully accepted.

Mothers & Daughters (ages 8-11): Growing Roots and Wings


Date: June 26, 2010
Time: 10 am - 4 pm

Location: Chapel View Farm
2560 Jennings Chapel Road
Woodbine, MD

Cost: $120 per mother/daughter pair


Adolescence may feel like a long way off when your girl is eight, but with the marketing of makeup, fashion clothing, and other teen accoutrements to the eight-to-eleven-year-old set, girls are beset with teenage anxieties at younger and younger ages.

During this day retreat, we'll use humor, play, and group discussion to provide a forum for mothers and daughters to deepen and celebrate their bond. We'll provide ideas and tools to help mothers stay close to their daughters as they mature, easing the transition into adolescence.
