October 30 – November 1
Saints, Souls, and Sacred Belonging with Mary DeTurris Poust at Holy Mountain Retreat Center
Saints, Souls, and Sacred Belonging A Weekend Retreat for Deep Rest, Reflection, and Renewal
Step into a weekend shaped by the wisdom of the saints, the quiet courage of the soul, and the longing we all share for a place of true belonging. Through guided reflections, contemplative practices, shared meals, and gentle conversation, we’ll explore what it means to live a life rooted in the sacred—within ourselves, within community, and within the world that holds us.
This retreat invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the parts of your spirit that are too often overlooked. Together, we’ll listen for the stories that shape us, honor the ancestors and holy ones who accompany us, and create space for the soul to speak with clarity and tenderness.
Whether you come seeking healing, inspiration, companionship, or quiet, this weekend offers a sanctuary for rediscovering your own sacred belonging.
Guests are invited to bring a photo of a deceased loved one or friend to place on our altar as we honor and remember those who have passed.
Friday dinner through Sunday breakfast. Check in 3 PM. Dinner at 5 PM
