Finding God on the Yoga Mat
June 5-7, 2020
Sr. Kathryn Clauss, I.H.M., and Rebecca Wick
In the Jesuit tradition of “Finding God in All Things”, this weekend retreat will integrate the practice of yoga breathing and asanas with the Christian practices of reflection and prayer. We will examine the themes of gratitude for creation, generosity with our gifts and openness to where God leads us in our lives. All levels of yogis are welcome. Please bring a yoga mat, journal, water bottle, towel and comfortable clothing.
The retreat begins with a buffet dinner from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday evening and concludes Sunday with the celebration of Mass at 10:45 a.m. followed by a hot brunch at noon. Families of retreatants are most welcome to attend the Sunday Mass and brunch at no extra charge.
