Loss and grief are particularly difficult during the holiday season. Come to the soothing spaces of Mercy by the Sea for comfort and support. This day of reflection will include prayer, ritual, quiet and the support of community — all valuable resources for healing a grieving heart.

This program is a contemporary adaptation of the classic Ignatian 30-day retreat for those who are not able to take a month away from family, work and other responsibilities. Its central purpose is to grow in spiritual freedom and find intimacy with God in the midst of daily life.

During this Advent retreat, we will explore our true nature of peace, and understand how it is the very essence of who we are.

This retreat day offers you time and space to vision your future and discover where your heart wants to take you in the new year. Using guided meditation and imagery, the language of the soul, you will tap into your inner wisdom and discover a new fresh vision of what you are seeking for yourself in the year ahead. Using found images and other media, you'll be cutting, tearing and gluing to create mixed media collages on beautiful JourneyCircles™ template cards.

Join us for a day of mindfulness during which we will practice clarity of mind, focus, and the non-judgmental observation of experience as it unfolds from moment-to-moment. In a safe, relaxed atmosphere, a variety of mindfulness loving kindness and meditation practices will be introduced and guided.

Our monthly Centering Prayer Circles consist of a 20-minute period of Centering Prayer, a brief meditative walk, a contemplative practice, silence and contemplative conversation. All are welcome.
