Welcome kindness, ritual, and grace.
Retreat House (RH) is celebrating stories this week. Gretchen Martens has been guiding the RH “House of” series from our beginnings. Can you believe we will be publishing our twentieth book in May? Thank you, Gretchen, for your presence and guidance. If you want to join the Writer’s Group next Friday, you will be blessed. Email Gretchen for the link to join in, as Writer’s Gathering is an online community. We hope you may be considering submitting a piece for House of Kindness, our upcoming book. The deadline is over a month away - so start wondering and writing.
Richard Mickelson continues to bring compassionate conversations to the RH Circle. We have experienced The Gospels of Thomas and Mary Magdalene together. Now, Richard is called to offer Gratefulness Gatherings on the third Tuesday of each month. We hope you will register to join the circle. Please check out Richard’s new offering on our website.
Workshop presenters, book discussions, and program offerings are being announced this week for the Retreat House Wild Week April 21-26. We hope you will join us for part of or the whole week. Check out the RH Wild Week page to see what we are creating for you.
We wish our Muslim family friends Ramadan Mubarek. We wish our Christian family friends a meaningful Lenten season. We wish our Buddhist brothers and sisters a season of happiness. How do you tend your spiritual life? We would like to hear and share your story at RH.
With love from your RH Community!
RH News, Noticings, & Nudges is a new tool of communication as we tend spaces for our in- person and online communities.
News because we want to keep you informed.
Noticings because this is the formational piece of how and what we encounter together when we gather at Retreat House.
Nudgings because sometimes we are called to action, and we have a supportive community to help us discern next steps.
We hope you enjoy these stories, meditations, and invitations to writing and art prompts and spiritual resources from our covenant partners. Much of what you find on these pages will be updated on the website weekly, so you will be able to use the website as a dynamic resource of offerings at RH. Join the discussions by posting in the comments sections. And, if you have something you would like to offer the RH Community, please reach out and let us know!
