E-RETREATS
by Whispering Winds
Sometimes it's really hard to find a few days, or even a day, to go on retreat.
Sometimes the weather is the culprit and you can't easily travel to a retreat center.
Other times it's nearly impossible to clear your schedule for a few days of retreat time - family commitments, work requirements, social obligations....
Is there any way to go on retreat without going to a retreat center?
Is there any way to go on retreat for just a few minutes, maybe an hour, at a time?
At Whispering Winds, we are trying to address this need by developing e-retreats.
The details of each e-retreat may vary, but generally each e-retreat is designed to lead you through quiet moments of thinking about God, thinking about how God and you communicate with each other, and thinking about how you relate to others in your world.
The format is primarily email based. Participants receive a series of emails, typically two or three emails a week for several weeks. Each email may include Bible reading, reflection, prayer, music, and suggestions for personally applying the insights gained or any practices suggested.
Our first e-retreat, "Holy Waiting in an Instant Culture - ADVENT" was delivered throughout Advent of 2011. Our second e-retreat, "The Scandal of Lent" was delivered throughout Lent of 2012.
As we develop more E-Retreats they will be made available from this webpage.
