Join Us for a Special One-Day Retreat at Assisi Heights
Saturday, May 17, 2025
With all the turmoil and uncertainty in this world, which is present every time you turn on the TV or read the headlines, it is critical that we also take time for ourselves to remain balanced. Although we may witness or experience suffering, pain, and adversity, we also need to reflect on the beauty of life to stay grounded and find peace. To achieve this, we have invited Sister Melannie Svoboda, SND, author of the blog, Sunflower Seeds, Celebrating Everyday Spirituality, to present a retreat at Assisi Heights. She will present two 3-day retreat sessions in mid-May.
However, knowing the busy lives we all lead, we have decided to offer a special one-day retreat opportunity to experience Melannie’s gifts on Saturday, May 17, from 9:00 am-4:00 pm. Her presentation, Celebrating the Gifts of Hope and Wholeness in Our Beautiful and Broken World, will include quiet reflection with input that will grace your spirit with hope.
This day will include two sessions by Melannie. The first session is at 9:00 am, followed by a Noon luncheon. After lunch, you may take time to reflect on the morning session while you experience the peaceful atmosphere (indoors or outdoors) at Assisi Heights. All will gather again for a final session at 3:00 pm.
Give yourself a gift of time, reflection, and peace. We hope you will join us!
