St. Benedict’s Monastery, Old Snowmass
January 6-9, 2011
Come join us on a four-day women’s retreat to begin the new year with writing and meditation, rest and renewal, in a monastery renowned for its contemplative beauty. In this, our seventh year, we’ll study the mystic poets and find our own words, in poetry or prose, for the mystic within.
All levels of writers and yogis, beginners to expert, are most welcome.
Daily writing sessions and evening read-arounds with writer Sandy Dorr; optional morning yoga & meditation with the gentle, radiant Susan Crosby. Optional vespers and services, singing with a welcoming community of monks. Superb cusine and retreat lodging in the guest house or hermitages.
Cost (lodging, retreat & meals): $420. Commuters $300.
To register, contact Carol DiMarcello, St. Benedict’s, coc@sopris.net or (970) 927-9376.
