Experience renewal through a personal or group retreat
We invite you to take time away on a personal retreat for a day, an overnight, a weekend or longer. You have the flexibility to design your retreat, which may include joining others in prayer, sharing meals, browsing the library or walking the nature trails.
Group retreats are another opportunity for renewal and spiritual exploration. Your group can choose from several retreats scheduled throughout the year on various topics. A member of the spirituality team can also work with you to create a unique retreat fitting the needs of your group. This is an excellent opportunity to strengthen bonds between group members.
|
|
Topics include:
- Bridges to Contemplative Living
- Quest for Balance
- Everyday Path to God
- Breathing Space
- Ecospirituality in Action
- Invitation to Community
- Advent & Lenten Lunches
For those seeking a more solitary experience, we offer private hermitages. These small houses include a kitchenette, sitting area, bath and outdoor deck, with beautiful views of the wooded landscape.
A hermitage retreat is perfect for those needing a complete getaway. Whether a guest is trying to complete a personal project or seeking a deeper connection with God, hermitages cultivate renewal by cradling guests in deep silence and calm.
|
|
Spiritual Guidance
Spiritual guidance is an opportunity for individuals to address questions of faith with an experienced guide. Distinct from counseling, the goal of spiritual guidance is not to solve life’s problems, but rather to increase awareness of how God is already active in an individual’s life.
At the monastery, trained spiritual guides provide private and confidential spiritual guidance by appointment. You can request spiritual guidance in regular ongoing sessions, as part of a personal retreat, or as a single meeting.
|
|
Call to Prayer
Benedictine life is rooted in the rhythm of daily prayer. You are invited to join Liturgy of the Hours each morning, noon and evening for a public expression of the Benedictine call to seek God in community. The heart of this prayer is the sung and recited psalms along with scripture readings and times of silence. Centering prayer is another opportunity to experience common prayer through silent meditation and to discover renewal by resting in God.
|
|
 |
|
Each Sunday, people are welcome to join Benedictine Women of Madison to celebrate Eucharist around a common table. With prayers of thanksgiving and praise, we respond to Jesus’ invitation, “Do this in memory of me.”
All are welcome at Holy Wisdom Monastery. By taking time away from daily routine, you may find clearer understanding of yourself and of God’s presence in your life. Listen with the ear of your heart. Be open. Find your center and return to your life with more balance, focus and serenity.
For more information, including retreat dates, please visit www.benedictinewomen.org or call (608) 836-1631.
