Escape for a retreat weekend from the stress of college life and build community with other students searching for peace. Come to a quiet place to think and reflect on the gospel message of nonviolence, share your gifts and enjoy nature amid the stillness of the New England woods. Experience a straw bale house, solar energy, vegetable-fueled car and a sustainable community dedicated to eco-spirituality.
The retreat will include-provocative discussions on nonviolence, liturgy, prayer; silence, and meditative walks in the woods–poetry, song, and celebration with an evening coffee house. Bring instruments and poetry.
The setting-We are a Catholic Christian community, ecumenical and interfaith in our embrace. All are welcome without reservation We are located on 32 acres of land in Central Massachusetts next to the natural beauty of the Quabbin Reservoir. Scholarships available upon inquiry.
WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT THE RETREAT:
“The students are still talking about this retreat…and several have been motivated to do some different things with their lives.” Heather Colonnese, Campus Minister, Le Moyne College 2002
“More than transformative, it was for me a time of silence and hope that witnessed to the way things could be, the way things should be.” Geoff Gusoff, Brown University, 2007
“We all get consumed with our busy lives and schedules. A component of nonviolence is being able to forgive. And forgiving also means forgiving yourself. We are all vulnerable, especially in our greatest times of need.”
Christina Suppe, Anna Maria College, 2006
