5-Day Silent Retreat

Healing, Insight, Renewal, and Connection

September 22–27, 2026

Join us for the annual silent retreat—an opportunity for rest, renewal, community, and deeper awareness of your purpose and potential.

At the Benedictine Sisters of Erie Retreat Center, participants will come together in a supportive community to step away from the busyness and distraction of daily life.

The retreat will include guided and insight meditation, mindful yoga, silent walking meditation, creative expression, and time for rest and personal reflection. Silence will begin after the Tuesday evening program and continue until before dinner on Saturday.

Sustained silence can create space for focused attention, greater awareness, and a different relationship with physical tension, difficult feelings, and familiar thought patterns. Guided practices and the support of the retreat community are intended to encourage safety, openness, reflection, and integration.

The retreat offers time to listen inwardly and cultivate insight, clarity, kindness, and compassion for ourselves and others.
