Closer: Deepening Our Relationship with God

Presented by Chip Wood

Join us for a weekend of silence, enriched by eight learning sessions on various methods of getting closer to God. Whether you are experienced in contemplation or just learning how to pray, you will thoroughly enjoy exploring the avenues to connect to God that have been utilized for generations. Topics include learning to pray, gratitude, lamentation, practicing presence, walking meditation, recollection, and centering prayer. Time to practice what you are learning and opportunities for spiritual direction with facilitators and retreat center staff are built into our time together.

Chip Wood is a seminary student at Luther Seminary with a passion for meditation and prayer. His greatest desire is to serve God, and his desire has led to decades of research and experience in methods of prayer and meditation. He looks forward to walking alongside you in your journey of getting closer to God.

Check-In begins at 3:00 pm on Friday, followed by orientation at 5:45 and supper at 6:00. The retreat concludes after the noon meal on Sunday.

The investment for the weekend retreat is $260 and includes lodging in a regular room and six meals.
