We Sponsor:

Programs:  Programs provide an opportunity to learn and to explore new ideas in a supportive and caring environment. Programs range in length from a few hours to a full day to a series of meetings over several weeks.  Please see "Upcoming Programs & Retreats" for the full list.

Retreats:  are a time apart from ordinary activities to listen and respond to God. Thematic retreats of varying lengths are available. All retreats include lodging in a private room, linens, and home-cooked meals.

  • Thematic Retreats follow a specific theme with opportunities for reflection and optional sharing with others.
     

  • Directed Weekends are silent and include a daily meeting with a spiritual director for about one-half hour. The remainder of the day is spent alone in prayer and reflection. Retreats begin Friday at 7pm; end Sunday at 1pm.
     

  • Directed Week Long Retreats follow the same format as directed weekends but begin with a buffet at 6:00 pm, opening session at 7:30 pm; end with brunch at 10:30 am on the last day of the retreat.
     

  • Guided Retreats are silent with a daily group presentation and the opportunity to meet with a spiritual director at least once during the week. The remainder of the time is spent alone in prayer and reflection. Guided Retreats begin with a buffet at 6:00 pm, opening session at 7:30 pm; end with brunch at 10:30 am on the last day of the retreat.
     

Personal Renewal  Subject to space availability
Personal Renewal is a time to “get away” from the pace of everyday life and be refreshed, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Individuals seeking self-directed time apart for solitude, rest, and prayer may schedule a private retreat for one or more nights based on availability.

  • Private Retreats offer self-directed time apart for 24 hours or longer whenever rooms are available (meals provided). Contact the Center for availability.  Fees can be found at: http://retreatinmaine.com/private.htm
     

  • Renewal Days offer a quiet day away from the busyness of life. Arrive anytime after 8:30 am. Use our walking trails, library, gazebo, labyrinth, outdoor pool and common rooms for your spiritual refreshment. Leave anytime before 4:00 pm. Lunch included. Fee: $15.00. Please pre-register with fee five (5) days before chosen renewal day. For more information please call or read more at:
