Quiet Directed Retreats


Quiet Directed Retreat

The personally directed retreat provides the opportunity for time away from the usual activity of life to be quiet, to pray, to reflect. The atmosphere of peaceful quiet allows you to enter into a sustained silence in order to pray more deeply, listen more carefully, and respond more fully to God's movement within. Each retreatant meets daily with a spiritual director. All Quiet Directed Retreats run from Sunday to Saturday. Registration deadline one week prior to retreat.

Directors’ availability varies. Please call River’s Edge for a detailed brochure.

Please call to schedule a retreat if the following dates do not fit your schedule.


Cost: $400 includes overnight accommodations for the week, meals, and spiritual direction.

Presented by: Carol Creek, Marla Loehr, Elizabeth Woconish (nee Vajentic), and Judy Cole, CSJ
