Come taste the silence of prayer with other contemplative companions, and rest in the stillness. An established practice of Centering Prayer for six months or longer is suggested but not required. These silent retreats provide time for rest and renewal through an extended experience of resting in God, in the contemplative environment of Mercy Center. There are several communal Centering Prayer periods each day, allowing us to deepen our spiritual practice. There is some input each day by a retreat director on a selected dimension of contemplative life and prayer.
