In collaboration with a local sea kayaking operation (East Coast Outfitters) we offer this exciting adventure in nature, a day for beginners and expert paddlers alike. The guides are professionally certified to work with all skill levels. Before leaving the dock on the shores of Terence Bay, your guide will assist you in selecting a boat and gear to meet your specific needs. After a period of instructions you and your guide and companions will set out on a route through scenic coastal bays and inlets allowing the richness, depth and beauty of the moment to speak to your heart. Then it’s back to the Centre for reflection and sharing followed by dinner at 5:30 and an evening around the fireplace. Stay overnight at the centre if you wish.
Sunday 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Sunday offers us an opportunity to enjoy the day on a beautiful, relatively wild island off Terence Bay. A boat will transport us to Mahar’s Island (site of the S.S. Atlantic) where we will spend the day walking the trails, exploring the beaches, resting, reflecting and praying, surrounded by God’s unspoiled nature. Come for the entire weekend or for one of the days.
Group Spiritual Direction
Group Spiritual Direction
September 21, October 5, 19, November 2, 2011 (Wednesday)
10:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon
Fee: $50
Facilitator: Evelyn Williams, SC
Group Spiritual Direction is an opportunity for spiritual deepening and community support in our relationship with God. Like individual spiritual direction, group direction helps us recognize and articulate the action of God in our lives. In a group setting we become aware of God’s ways as we hear one another speak of God’s presence and action in each one’s life. Come enjoy a small group of journeyers and delight in the manifestation of God in our midst.
Sabbath Living
September 28, 2011 (Wednesday)
10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Fee: $30
Facilitator: Evelyn Williams, SC
Our experience of Sabbath as a day of rest and relaxation has been almost totally lost in the busy-ness of our task-oriented lives. Yet the sense of Sabbath, as spiritual leisure, is needed today in our hurried, time-starved world. This day will help us explore how everyday moments can be transformed into Sabbath moments and how we can know sacredness in our everyday lives. The day will include time for Sabbath living, reflection and sharing.
Autumns Challenges

10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Fee: $30
Facilitator: Evelyn Williams, SC
Nature’s changing seasons reflect the changing seasons of our lives. Autumn, with its wind-swept trees offers us an opportunity to look at our autumn experiences of vulnerability and letting go. It helps us embrace the transforming power and potential beneath the appearance of so much loss. Come, reflect and share with others as we take a closer look at our Autumn challenges.

The desert is an ancient meeting place of the Holy. In our desert experiences we journey with this same God. Our experiences of desert reveal what captivates our hearts, exposes our idols, teaches awareness, unveils our desire for God, and teaches asceticism, compassion and freedom. Come, enjoy a desert day of input, reflection and sharing.
