“The Fruits of the Spirit are indications of God’s presence at work in us,”

                                                                                                — Thomas Keating

Love, Joy, Peace, Kindness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Goodness, Patience, and Self-Control—these Nine Fruits are God’s gift to us and offer us a way to live our lives rooted in the Spirit.

During this Day of Prayer, we will explore these Nine Fruits as living sources of deep nourishment for our whole selves. We will engage in contemplative prayer, journaling, art making, and sacred sharing to awaken and invite the presence of the Indwelling Spirit to be our guide.

As we cultivate these Fruits in our daily lives, we’ll discover ways to be more deeply anchored in Divine Presence. At this retreat you’ll receive:

  • Time and space for true rest and renewal
  • Creative inspiration to bring the Fruits of the Spirit into daily life
  • A loving community for supportive sharing

We invite you to come, rest, and nourish yourself, as we learn to live from these sacred Fruits—letting the Holy Spirit guide us into the ever-present flow of Divine Love.
