Join Common Ground this October for a weekend Silence & Solitude Retreat along Oregon's beautiful McKenzie River. In the midst of autumn's quiet beauty, we'll step away from the noise and demands of everyday life to make space for deep listening: to our own hearts, to God, and to one another. You don't need to be an expert in contemplative practices to join us. We are ordinary people learning together in community that wholeness requires slowing down and making room for being intentionally present. Whether you are new to silence and solitude or have practiced it for years, this retreat offers a welcoming space to explore these ancient rhythms together, be seen and heard, and rediscover the companionship of the Divine.
Shared meals, worship, and reflection to help settle into the retreat experience.
Guided introductions to the practice of silence and solitude, designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
Extended solitude sessions with freedom to pray, journal, walk, reflect, rest, or spend quiet time in nature along the McKenzie River.
Guided deep-listening experiences that create space to hear God, attend to your own heart, and connect more deeply with others.
A guided relaxation and sound bath to encourage rest, renewal, and attentive presence.
A silent community breakfast and closing reflection focused on carrying these practices into everyday life.
Whether you're new to silence and solitude or have practiced it before, this retreat offers an opportunity to slow down, disconnect from the noise, and make space for deeper listening, rest, and connection.
Cost includes 4 meals, 2 nights of lodging, and facilitated retreat content.
If cost is a barrier to your attendance, please reach out to us.
