Co-sponsored by COA and Columbia Seminary.

​

This retreat offers a sacred rhythm of silence, solitude, and prayer, with opportunities to join the Benedictine Sisters for Mass and optional prayer times. Afternoons provided space for walking in nature and engaging in soul friending with retreat facilitators. Designed to cultivate deep interior silence, the retreat nurtures and awareness of God's presence in everyday life.

A Korean language track is available for the five-day retreat, making this a welcoming and accessible space for Korean-speaking participants to engage fully in the retreat experience.
