"The quieter you are...The more you hear."

Silent Retreat - March 5-7, 2021


 A friend of Gilmont, Jonathan Bailey, shared this blog post concerning the need for silence:

​We live in a world addicted to noise. We use noise as a way to distract us from what really matters. We only have to practice silence once to recognize the depth and distraction of our soul. In their zeal for spiritual guidance, monastic Christians would flood Abba Moses, a wise monk, with many questions. This was often his reply, "Sit in your cell (their sparse living quarters) and your cell will teach you everything." Sitting in silence is the master teacher. It's one of the beautiful ways we open ourselves to grace...  

More details:

​Gilmont will provide space for you to grow into intentional silence comfortably whether you are a veteran or a novice.  In light of the pandemic, special protocols will be followed.

Meals will be served in silence in community.

Practice spaces will include: art supplies and instruction, guided prayer stations, camp fires, labyrinths, worship.

Silence will be broken for an hour meeting with a Spiritual Director each day and simple reading of the Psalms.

Accommodations will be in the single lodge rooms.

All invitations to participate in the retreat offerings are optional.
