Crafting Your Rhythm of Life
a retreat to build a trellis for your intentions and grow your God-given purposes
Friday, January 8, 2027 at 6 – 8:30pm and
Saturday, January 9, 2027 at 9am – 3pm
Lunch on Saturday is included
Cost: $120, $160, or $200
Are you curious about building a way of living that cultivates love and transformation in you and around you?
Do you desire to live intentionally but find you’re often pulled away from it?
Do you ever wonder if the things you do every day are contributing to the deeper things you’re designed for?
Join us for a retreat to begin your year crafting your livable, personally discerned “Rhythm of Life.”
Based on the ancient practice of a “Rule of Life,” we realistically pays attention to what’s in your life, the love of God and how God made you, and then what habits move or hold you in the direction of purpose, wholeness and love. We will learn about what a Rhythm or Rule of Life is, then engage in prayer and activities to discover and choose with the Spirit what yours will incorporate. You will leave with at least a rough draft on Saturday!
This is NOT a workshop on resolutions or self-improvement but learning a way of listening to God in the daily, how you co-operate with God naturally, and to follow your desire to love God with your whole self as you live from your belovedness. Come start 2027 with us and a new way to walk with God this year!
This January 2027 retreat is the same as 2026, so if you came in 2026 and would like to work on your rhythm or rule of life, please contact Kimberley by emailing her at kmulder@dominicancenter.com to set up an individual spiritual direction session to do so.
This year, for those retreatants interested, we will plan a time to meet in May to re-visit our rhythms of life, reflect and re-orient with what we discover.
If you attended this retreat in January 2026, or if you already have a rule of life, and would like to join our May reflection and reorientation time, you are welcome to join then!
Before you buy another planner, or get swept up in the urgent everyday,
create your rhythm of life to live by and make decisions this year from a more purposeful place.
