Through the prophets and parables of Scripture and the poetry of Rilke and Rumi, meet the God of mercy and justice, the God of our deepest desires, who is always coming to us in unexpected ways; at times delightful, at times disruptive. 

A silent contemplative retreat with: 

• One presentation daily
• One group prayer experience daily
• Ample solitude for prayer

Spiritual direction will be available daily, for those who wish.

Sr. Marilyn now manages Mercy Beyond Borders, a nonprofit dedicated to partnering with displaced women and children overseas in ways that alleviate their extreme poverty.

Assisting with ritual and spiritual direction: Helen Marie Gilsdorf, RSM, Mary Ann Scofield, RSM, and a team of spiritual directors.
