Retreats at Seventh Avenue provide opportunities-in-communities where we can stop — and rest into God’s gentle presence — for either a day or weekend exploring our lives in communion with God.

We have All-Day Advent retreats at Mercy Center in Burlingame to ’ready’ ourselves for the Incarnation. In Lent, we have a Day of Recollection that takes place here at Seventh Avenue as we plumb the depths of God’s love for us.

In the Summer, we have a 3-Day retreat either in Los Gatos or in Santa Rosa.  This retreat allows us to delve deeper into the Mystery we call God as we open ourselves to be loved … all the way down to our toes.

Recent topics at our summer retreats have been:

• The Way of Shalom
• The Guest House: Christian Equanimity
• Being: Living the Truth of Who You Are
• Living into Forgiveness
• Our Soul’s Work
• Living the Life of the Beloved
• God’s Friend
