Bergamo Retreat Center in Beavercreek, OH
Some seasons call for a deep breath and a quiet room. Join us at Bergamo for a weekend of slowing down and making space for God, with the mystics as our companions. These are people from many centuries and traditions who spent their lives paying attention to the Holy in everyday things, and who still have a lot to say to those of us juggling full calendars.
We’ll spend our time in reflection, good conversation, prayer, and plenty of quiet. If you’re drawn to it, there will also be workshops in creativity and movement, a chance to pray with your hands and your whole body, not just your head. The schedule will be open and flexible for you to come and go and find time for what you need.
You don’t need to know anything about the mystics or have any experience with contemplative practice. Come as a longtime seeker or as someone who’s just curious. Come tired, come hopeful, come with questions. Take part as much or as little as feels right.
All women are welcome, and we’d love to have you with us.
Throughout the weekend, Pastor Michelle Terry will lead worship, teaching, and small group opportunities.
