Why are you applying for this Sabbatical Progam?

What are your concrete desires and hopes for taking this time apart?

Are there some personal experiences you have had or are having that lead you to believe God is inviting you to this experience?

Please mention any other information that would be of help in knowing you, your desires, your needs better.

This Contemplative Sabbatical includes many optional programs. If accepted, do you plan to participate in some, most or all of the Mornings, Days, Weekends and opportunities such as weekly spiritual direction? This response is not a commitment on your part but it is asked to help us know your present desires and state of heart.

Please comment on your experience of spiritual direction and retreats.



The atmosphere of the Retreat Center is one of reverent silence. Many but not all meals will be in silence with background music. How comfortable will you be with extended silence?



Holistic Therapies:


Holistic or massage therapy may be available during this retreat for an additional fee (usually $40/hour). Please indicate below if you would be interested in this option and how frequently during the month. There will also be a weekly group opportunity for Yoga ($8/session) for those who wish. Payment can be made when you receive massage and/or yoga.

Second-floor rooms are limited.
Is a third floor bedroom possible for you? Yes No

Please let us know if you have any health needs or specific food allergies.
