The Mystical Experience of Everyday Living Retreat

Trinity Retreat Center

Mysticism is often viewed as the privileged experience of a few chosen, holy individuals. But German Jesuit Karl Rahner wrote about “everyday mysticism,” and Carmelite Sister Ruth Burrows described the mystical life simply as “God touching the depths of our being.” In examining the experiences of Thomas Merton and others, this retreat explores God’s unmistakable presence in our daily rhythms, prompting you to notice, identify, and appreciate mystical encounters in your everyday life. God is closer than we think.

Bible Storytelling & the Anti-Hero: The Search for Identity in the Bible Retreat

Trinity Retreat Center

“Everybody in the Old Testament is an anti-hero,” asserts the Rev. Judy Fentress-Williams, PhD. Using the tools of narrative and biblical performance criticism, this retreat will consider ways in which certain biblical characters (with all their humanness, flaws, and gifts)—especially the ones in Genesis—function in biblical narrative, then and now. By engaging the literary artistry of the text, we aim to uncover theological meanings and implications for our lives of faith today. Bring your Bibles and your questions! Come for a time of engaging study, as well as opportunities for prayer, nature walks, and meditation on the scenic grounds of Trinity Retreat Center.

Trees as Contemplative Teachers Daylong Retreat

A Retreat with Rev. Eileen Mahoney

Trinity Retreat Center

How might we get more in touch with our own tree-like nature: grounded in the Divine and yet flexible? With trees as our guides—and informed by recent research and the poetry of Mary Oliver, Wendell Berry, and John O’Donohue—we’ll practice silence, mindfulness, walking meditation, and journaling.

Led by Rev. Eileen Mahoney, Interfaith/Interspiritual minister and 2021 graduate of OneSpirit Seminary in New York City. Rev. Eileen draws on her rich Roman Catholic heritage, as well as practices of Buddhism and Sufism.

Thomas Merton and the Transformative Power of Love Retreat

Trinity Retreat Center

"To say that I am made in the image of God is to say that love is the reason for my existence, for God is love. Love is my true identity. Selflessness is my true self. Love is my true character: Love is my name. " —Thomas Merton

Thomas Merton lived as a contemplative monk, studying, writing, and praying. He could be impatient, rambunctious, charming, deceptive, and could experience both pain and love. In other words, he was completely human. It was in the vulnerability of that messy humanity where he most felt the grace of God. How do we make that same connection and sense God’s love for us? How do earthly and spiritual love fit together? We will consider these questions through reading, journaling, and exploring images of ourselves in which we look and feel beloved, using Merton’s work as a lens of grace through which we access love for ourselves, for others, and the world.
