SUMMARY:Silent Day Retreat: Exploring Eudaimonia
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DESCRIPTION\nNeed time to get away from distractions\, noise\, and disruptions to be able to rest? Try exploring what it means to be quiet and listen on a silent day retreat. Whether it would be your first time or the 40th time\, permit yourself\, as a gift\, to lay aside all the “shoulds” of your day to curiosity and wonder in what may surprise you. Let the generosity of God allow for the spaciousness of time in a quiet space.  \nA silent retreat is a place to let go of expectations\, befriend silence\, listen\, walk\, nap\, pray\, journal\, draw\, and enter into any other slowing-down intention. All the while\, you can trust the process of showing up to God’s invitation to be still in a busy world. \nExplore the concept of Eudaimonia\, human flourishing. \n \n“Eudaimonia” means refusing the open-office model of existence—the state of being always reachable\, always distracted\, always half-on. Instead\, it means moving deliberately through rhythms of stimulation\, connection\, reflection\, routine\, and deep focus. It means recognizing that rest isn’t just collapsing when you’re spent; rest is what makes the deeper chambers of your life possible.” Andy Patton in “Eudaimonia: If You Want to be Creative\, Learn How to Rest” \nDATE \nSaturday\, June 20 \nTIME\n9am-4:30pm \nLOCATION\nChristine Eitzen’s retreat space\, “Agape Court”\nOlalla\, WA \nCOST\n$80\, lunch and snacks provided \nScholarships available \nDETAILS\nSome suggestions of items to bring: journal\, books\, bible\, art supplies\, blanket\, comfy clothes\, walking shoes (weather dependent) \nLimit of 20 participants. Register now. \nQUESTIONS?\nIf you have additional questions\, contact Erika at info@selahcenter.org. Please note it may take up to 48 hours to respond\, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
