Come

Spend a quiet weekend of prayer with the companionship of a gifted spiritual director.

An autumn directed retreat will be held September 8-10 in Wisdom House's Farm House. Time for prayer, spiritual reading, walking quiet country roads, journaling, and personal reflection will be built in to the weekend. Spiritual directors for the weekend will be Cathy Murtha, DW and Mary Schneiders, OP.

Visit www.wisdomhouse.org, call 860-567-3163, or email programs@wisdomhouse.org to reserve a private room.

Treasuring the NOW

You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going.  What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith, and hope.

On August 3, the Women Geoscientists Writing Retreat at Wisdom House was blessed with a lively thunder storm followed by a beautiful and short-lived rainbow.

Stillness within one individual can affect society beyond measure.
