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 through worship on Sunday, enjoying the beauty of
God’s creation, reading, walking, resting, finding our own rhythms, listening
for the Still Small Voice.
