Spring 2005 Silent Retreat
True silence - is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment. William Penn, 1699
Is your spirit in need of nourishment and refreshment? Come to the Baltimore Yearly Meeting Silent Retreat at Dayspring. We will keep the silence from Friday evening until after worship on Sunday, enjoying the beauty of God’s creation, reading, walking, resting, finding our own rhythms, listening for the Still Small Voice.
The next Baltimore Yearly Meeting Silent Retreat will once again offer us an opportunity to enter that holy place, to find our Divine center. It will be held June 10-12th, at Dayspring Retreat Center in Germantown, Maryland. We will keep the silence from Friday evening until after worship on Sunday.
