It is easy to lose a sense of one’s own centre in a world that pulls us in many directions. We invite you during these three days to silence in which you may experience more of your own presence and the presence of the Sacred in this beautiful setting on Lake Ontario. The format is simple. There will be an opening communal session. In the next two days there will be the opportunity to speak with Dianne or Margo who can support you in your desire for deeper listening. Cost: $ 350.00

Registration starts at 3PM Retreat starts at 4 PM Oct 21st. and finishes at 1:00 PM on the 24th. This allows for three full days of silence.

This retreat is full. You will now be placed on a waitlist.
