ONLINE RETREATS, LENT 2022: several formats, different lengths. Ponder and choose.


Welcome to Lent 2022. We are offering several online retreats, some long, some short, in two different formats:

 1. on a blog (as we have offered in the past):
No appointment needed: read, gaze, listen, and practice on your own time; resources are posted regularly to mark a rhythm and offer progression and order, but you may pick the hour of day or night and the pace at which you participate; any conversation is in writing -- or you may remain anonymous.
 
 2. on Zoom (as we began offering last year)
Weekly (or in some cases, one-time-only) gathering on Zoom, at an appointed date and time; in real time; any conversation is in person and with your face (or Zoom profile) showing.
 
Both formats share verbal, visual, and sometimes musical resources as well as prayer and invitations to spiritual practice. Both encourage us to take quiet time and time apart. 

Each format has different advantages. One is not "better" than the other. It's more a question of what suits your temperament, your schedule, the type of help you need to keep commitments, and your way of receiving and integrating verbal and visual resources.
 
Here's the list of retreat titles and dates.
