Sound and Silence Retreat
THIS RETREAT IS FULL. Check back next Spring for 2018 dates. Music & Movement ... Drumming & Chant ...

This weekend retreat invites us to honor that sacred beat and go deeper into intention and prayer as we learn how to play - and pray - with drums, chant, the labyrinth and silence.
