It takes time to flower\, to mature\, to come to the centre of who we are; to find our true self and there discover the Divine Presence with truth and love. \nCome one and all to experience walking the labyrinth either for the first time or to renew your connection with the Holy One. \nWalk with us\, Lord\, through all the twists and turns of life. Walk with us when the clouds obscure the way\, when what seemed close is now so far away. \nWalk with us\, Lord\, until we trust in you. Lead us to the centre of your love. \nRetreat format: In-person \nDate: June 6\, 2026 \nRegistration Fee: $35 if you bring your own lunch; $55 if you have lunch with the Sisters. Associates/Oblates: $30 if you bring your own lunch\, $50 if you have lunch with the Sisters. \nRegistration Deadline: May 30\, 2026 \nLed by: Sister Dorothy\, SSJD\, Administrative Assistant and Oblate Director \nArrival Time: Between 9:30 and 10 AM on June 6 \nDepart: 4 PM on June 6 \nThank you for your interest in attending a quiet day at Saint John’s Convent.

What may at first sound daunting (eight days without talking!)\, soon becomes liberating\, invigorating and enlightening\, as retreatants settle into themselves and the quiet\, often unseen support of the sacred in their lives. \nAccompanying them on their unique\, surprising way is a trained spiritual director\, skilled in the arts of listening\, encouraging\, and questioning. Once a day\, retreatants release the silence to speak with their directors about what is unfolding. Together director and retreatant give shape to retreat time\, which can include prayer\, meditation\, rest\, reading\, walking\, artistic exploration and other nourishing activities enjoyed in silence. \nDaily Eucharist\, plus Morning and Evening Prayer with the Sisters are open to all retreatants. \nRetreat format: In person \nDate: June 9 – 17\, 2026 \nRegistration Fee: Total is $1100 with a deposit of $250 (meals and accommodation inclusive). Apply up to six weeks before the registration deadline to receive early bird pricing of $200 off your total cost! \nRegistration Deadline: June 2\, 2026 \nLed by: Greg Kennedy \nArrival Time: between 2 and 4 PM on June 9 \nDepart: after 2:30 PM on June 17 \n\n\n \n \n 8-Day Silent Directed Retreat (June 9 - 17)\n \n \n \n \n PLEASE NOTE:\n\nDeposits for events are non-transferable.
