Silence at St. Bernard Abbey

Please read through entirely for cancellation policies.

You are invited to a self-directed silent retreat. In a self-directed retreat, each participant is assigned a Spiritual Director from Cloudwalk to meet with privately one time over the weekend. This retreat is a wonderful introduction to direction if direction is new to you and also a very rich way to practice abiding prayer as introduced through the Discovery workshop. Please consider "sending the crowds away" for a weekend and experience God's love in a deep and transforming way. A sacred time set aside for you and God to spend together and grow this most important relationship.

“When we take time to step out of our lives and enter the silence, you will encounter God.” -Maria Cressler

The cost of the retreat is $495.00 and this includes lodging, meals and spiritual direction beginning Friday afternoon and ending Sunday with lunch.

Check-in: Friday 1pm-1:45pm

Retreat begins Friday at 2pm

Cancellation Policies:

Full payment is required at the time your reservation is made for this event. You may cancel your registration for any reason and receive a refund of your registration fee up to 4 weeks prior to the date of the event; however, you will be charged a $75.00 handling fee upon the cancellation of your registration.

If you are unable to attend due to a COVID-19 illness or exposure within one week of the retreat, please let us know. A credit to join us at a future retreat will be issued, valid for 12 months. You may not attend if:

• you are awaiting COVID-19 test results and results remain unknown at the start of the retreat;
• you have been knowingly exposed to, or lived with, someone who has had COVID-19 during the 5 days prior to your retreat;
• you have been exposed and you have an incomplete isolation period of 5 days.

Please refer to the CDC guidance about isolation and quarantine periods.

In the event that you cancel your registration less than 4 weeks prior to the retreat, for any reason other than illness, we will be unable to refund the entire registration fee because we will be unable to recoup the retreat cost at that point in time. Regardless of when you cancel your registration, your registration is not transferable to another event, date, or person. If you need to cancel your ticket, please email support@cloudwalk.org
