The nuns of Our Lady of the Mississippi Abbey invite you to experience

The Monastery Retreat themonasteryretreats.org

The retreat focuses on the wisdom of the monastery in order to explore how non-monastic men and women can incorporate contemplative monastic values and practices into their own lives. Retreatants will participate in presentations and discussions designed to explore how monastic values such as silence, humility, obedience, and community can be sources of spiritual enrichment in their own busy lives. Each day will include time for Lectio Divina on specific themes, as well as periods set aside for private prayer and silent meditation. In addition, retreatants will gather each day to pray Lauds, Vespers and Compline.
