(LENT, 2007)   Like Flowers, Blooming in the Desert
A day of prayer for women, an opportunity to journey into and past the dry places in our lives, to discover the flowers, the refreshment and the joy that God intends for His daughters… “See, I will lead her into the desert and speak to her heart!” (Hosea 2: 16).Past retreats offered by Peg Wuelfing Guided by others experienced in a variety of ways to become aware of God’s presence, to listen to God speak, to respond to God, participants gather new ways to pray.

Walk through the day, and find the Liturgy of the Hours, solo and group lectio divina, journaling, prayers of silence and intercession, of art, movement, and song, a nature walk, and an oasis of hospitality for spiritual companionship and holy conversation.

Reflect on and celebrate with women of Jewish, Catholic and other Christian traditions the stories of our mothers in faith—Eve, Judith, Esther and Ruth—women of prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude, who speak to us today! 


(ADVENT, 2006)   How Wondrous Are Your Stars of Night, O Lord!
An opportunity for stories and silence, music, prayer and reflection in the midst of a most busy time of year! As storytellers and prayer leaders, vowed religious and lay women point to the ‘stars’ that God places in our universe, who, like the angels, “light and guard, rule and guide” us on our way.  Night’s first star, shooting stars, pole star and cluster stars…remember and thank God for the universe of stars God has created, just for you.
