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 the upcoming retreats for 2008 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.

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.

PILGRIMAGE OF PEACE
JULY 23 - AUGUST 22 ,2010
From July 23 - August 22 we'll hold the next PILGRIMAGE OF PEACE at Wellspring Conference Center in Germantown , Maryland.
Come for a day, or two, a week or more...
The Question: Is it time to create a new ecumenical community , a " little Taize", here in the United States?
Come explore this question and encounter a growing community of people who are responding to this question and helping to co-create such a community that would be both contemplative and engaged in peace-making in this world. A community of men and women living together as equals, extending a deep welcome to all and offering an original, beautiful, daily sung prayer.
Every day we'll gather for morning, mid-day and evening sung prayer...daily conversation, silence, work, play, yoga, bodywork...
There is no set cost for this, donations are accepted.
All are most welcome!

"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.
