Silent Night, Holy Night, All is Calm, All is Bright.
In the midst of the noise and chaos of our human existence, Jesus’ birth reminds us of the power of stillness. The arrival of our Savior was a divine, history-altering event that shifted the course of humanity—yet, He came quietly, humbly, in the calm of a sacred, silent, holy night.
Join us for 24 hours of guided silence as we prepare our hearts to receive the gift of Jesus in this sacred season. In this silent retreat, you will experience the profound power of intentional stillness, where calm emerges from the quiet and makes room for deep peace. Learn how to quiet your inner voices to truly hear God’s voice, discovering the divine serenity that is only uncovered in stillness.
Each aspect of the retreat, from the moments of reflection to the intentional guided experiences, is designed to draw you closer to the divine peace that only Christ can bring.
Guided Stillness: Walk alongside us as we learn to quiet our inner voices and remove the distractions that keep us from truly listening to God. You will be given thoughtful, self-guided exercises to complete on your own.
Biblical Teaching: Be inspired by how Jesus came into the world through the obedience of a few who listened to His voice in the stillness. You’ll learn how to make stillness a consistent rhythm in your life, experiencing the supernatural calm afforded to those who take time to be still.
Creative Activities: Engage with interactive, hands-on projects that allow you time to reflect and express yourself—all done in silence to deepen your connection with Christ.
Reflection & Prayer: Engage in reflective prayer practices and personal time with God, using silence to focus on His presence and prepare for the beauty of Christ’s coming. You’ll have optional activities to enhance your silent retreat, such as time in nature and spaces for meditation.
Nourishing Food: Each aspect of this retreat is designed to help fill your body and soul with God’s gifts of goodness and peace. Enjoy three delicious meals in silence throughout the retreat.
You’ll leave this retreat with a renewed sense of inner peace and a deeper connection to the true meaning of Christmas. In the stillness, find the light that shines so brightly—His peace, His presence, and His promise.
Come, be still with us.
