Join Ruth and the Transforming Center team

A Sabbath Retreat

for Transforming Community Alumni

In returning and rest you shall be saved

Return to a space where you experience rest, rhythms, and relationships in community

July 9-11, 2023 

(Sunday through Tuesday)

University of St. Mary of the Lake

Working with themes from Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest, we will deepen our experience of retreat with a more spacious schedule. There will be more time for solitude, silence and rest in God and we will settle into the prayer rhythms we have all grown to love.

This will be an incredible time to reconnect with spiritual companions from your own transforming journey — you won't want to miss it!
