Journaling to the Beloved: An Individual Guided Retreat


  • Wisdom House Retreat & Conference Center 229 East Litchfield Road Litchfield, CT, 06759 United States (map)

Presented by Maureen O’Brien

This interfaith retreat will explore guided journaling as a path toward deepening our relationship with God. Themed prompts, built upon focused reflections from the Psalms, the Miracles of Jesus, insights from saints and spiritual writings across religious traditions, will inspire retreatants to respond with writing full of truth and beauty. All seekers are welcome! Whether familiar with journaling, or just emerging, this retreat will provide support and space to fill pages and find, within them, the Beloved.
