Praying the Hours Retreat
With Lea Slaton
February 19 - 21, 2026
This retreat invites you to step into the ancient and life-giving rhythm of praying the hours—pausing throughout the day to turn heart and mind toward God. Through gentle liturgy, silence, and reflection, we will follow the sacred flow of morning, midday, evening, and night prayer, joining our voices with generations of Christians who have marked time with the presence of the Divine.
Guests will stay in the Sisters House, where each participant enjoys a private bedroom with a private bathroom and screened-in porch—a quiet space to rest, read, or simply breathe in the stillness. Shared common areas offer the warmth of community while allowing plenty of solitude for prayer and renewal.
Between the rhythms of communal prayer, there will be generous space for rest, reflection, and walking the grounds of Well of Mercy. The spacious porches, wooded trails, and quiet corners invite you to slow down and listen for the gentle whispers of grace that often go unheard in daily life.
Come and experience the blessing of time set apart—where body, mind, and spirit can be restored, and where the ancient rhythm of prayer may awaken something new within your soul.
