Contemplation and Justice in the Season of Saints

Do you have (or want to develop) a commitment to integrate

contemplative practice and prayer

with

 active concern for justice and peace?

Two online retreats can support you on this path.

They begin at the end of this month. 
Both are in the Christian tradition. 
One is nine days long and the other lasts for one month.  

Read on to see which one may be best for your rhythm of life. 

You are, of course, welcome to participate in both retreats.

(1) A Novena Retreat with Dorothy Day



       * October 31-November 8: 
                                             A daily 15-minute commitment.

        * Each day for 9 consecutive days:

              one quote by Dorothy Day
              one related spiritual exercise
              one prayer

       * $45  if you register (and mail your check) by Wednesday, October 16.

        * $55  if you register between Thursday, October 17 and Thursday, October 31.

       * Registration is open now. To register, write readwithredmont@earthlink.net.

       * More details about this retreat here.

You are welcome to take both retreats, in which case you are also welcome to a "package deal" of $135 if you register from Oct. 17, $110 if you register by Wed. Oct. 16 or are economically strained. 

(2) Companions in Justice, Companions in Prayer: 
              A Month of Memory

       * Reflect on the life and writings of companions in justice and prayer, pray with them on your own time, in your own context.

While these two retreats may appeal to different audiences 

because of their difference in structure and schedule,  

you are welcome to take both of them. 

If you do, I will be happy to offer a "package deal" of 

$110 if you register by Wednesday, October 16
or are financially strained

or $135 if you register from October 17 on.

Please note that I will offer an Advent retreat
