Quiet Contemplative Retreats at May Farm
A quiet place. To rest. With Jesus.
Jesus saw the need for his disciples to get away from the demands of the crowd. We, too, need a quiet place to step away from the pressure cooker of our lives and be with him, alone. May Farm is just the place to respond to Jesus’ invitation to come and rest with him. These retreats allow a lot of space to relax in Jesus’ presence. Presenters will offer brief explanations of ways to connect with Jesus when you are alone with him. Some offerings include, but are not limited to, reading scripture devotionally, Journaling as prayer, reading scripture imaginatively, and growing in awareness of God’s presence. These retreats are generally full-day offerings (9am-4pm), with lunch included.
These retreats are lead by a team of presenters, most being certified Spiritual Directors.
May Farm is located in Labadie, MO near Purina Farms.
“Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”
Mark 6.31
Personal Quiet Retreats
Would you like to offer a unique experience to the women of your congregation? Invite them for a 4-hour mini quiet retreat at May Farm to slow down and learn how to take a real soul breath. With paths to walk through the woods, beautiful farmland, and the calm of being in creation, May Farm provides the space that our hearts, bodies, and minds often crave but struggle to find within our daily routines. Participants are provided guided curriculum to help facilitate their time with the Lord or they are invited to use free time as the Lord leads. The beauty of this offering is that it can be uniquely tailored to the needs and desires of the participant. If you’d like to have lunch included, that is an option as well.
