Emmaus Fellows Retreat – October 2021

WHEN: Oct 11-13, 2021
Arrive any time after 1pm on Monday to register and settle in to your room. We will gather as a community at 3 PM. The retreat ends at 1 PM on Wednesday after lunch.

WHERE: Miramar Retreat Center – 121 Parks St, Duxbury, MA 02332. Duxbury is located approximately 1 hour south of Boston.

THEME: Abiding in Christ.

To abide in Christ is to be home. We will settle in together, at home in Jesus by the Holy Spirit, in various ways – drawing from Scripture, creating art, being together, in silence, walking on the beach, listening and attending to what the Holy Spirit is doing in and around us.

ACCOMMODATIONS: Private room for two nights (all meals and program costs are included)

RETREAT FORMAT: The retreat will be structured like the Emmaus retreat, with state of soul sharing as we begin, teaching and discussion times, silent reflection, small listening groups, prayerful artistic expression, fellowship over meals, corporate worship and optional spiritual direction.

“Selah was a transformative experience for me – allowing the contemplative within to emerge and to beautifully co-exist with my extraverted personality.“
