About this event
Join us for a retreat with the Rev. Dr. Greg Peters on Saturday, August 20, 2022 at Saint Paul's Anglican Church.
What is a retreat?
A retreat is a period of time in a “place apart” from daily life and work, which normally includes silence, reflection, and may include some form of still, meditative prayer which may be combined with brief periods of activity, teaching, and study.
The concept of retreat has its roots in the scriptural injunction to withdraw to a quiet, lonely place as Christ did periodically. The practice of making retreats is also based in the monastic tradition of structured time for silence and contemplation to balance the spiritual life between the contemplative way of life and the active way of life.
