How to spend your Quiet Day

Quiet Days offer unstructured time for your own quiet activities.

The house and property are open from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. – come for an hour or stay all day. Please bring a bagged lunch or snack to enjoy during our communal gathering from 12-12:30 p.m. At noon, we’ll offer Simple Presence, a shared time of silence for 10 minutes. Contemplative practice suggestions and creative offerings will be available.

Quiet Days are unstructured. You’re welcome to do whatever quiet activity feels right to you:

  • Walk the trails
  • Sit under the trees
  • Meditate
  • Read
  • Write
  • Light a candle
  • Draw
  • Pray
  • Choose your own!
