First Time in Silent Retreat

By Curator | May 28, 2026 |

Location: The Monastery, Cambridge
Friday 5 p.m. – Sunday 2 p.m., April 23-25, 2027
Leader: Br. Geoffrey Tristram

Life can be so busy and rushed that we lose touch with those deep sources of vitality and replenishment through which God longs to refresh and delight us. This weekend will be an opportunity to slow down and be still, to listen to the voice of Jesus, and deepen our connection with the God who knows and loves us. This is ideal for those who have never been on silent retreat before.

The Three Temptations of Christ (Lenten Retreat)

By Curator | May 28, 2026 |

Location: The Monastery, Cambridge
Thursday 5 p.m. – Sunday 2 p.m., March 11-14, 2027
Leader: Br. Lucas Hall

These forty days of Lent commemorate the days Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness, where he was tempted three times. This episode comes immediately after Christ’s baptism, where he sees the Spirit descend upon him and hears the Father’s voice proclaiming his identity as God’s beloved Son. On this retreat, we will explore our relationships to ourselves, to other people, and to God, how these relationships inform our identities, and how we may be tempted to deny, doubt, or distort them. All of us are tempted; how does Jesus’ response teach us and help us to respond?

Praying Advent through Creation

By lwilson | May 28, 2026 |

Location: The Monastery, Cambridge
Thursday 5 p.m. – Sunday 2 p.m., December 3-6, 2026
Leader: Br. Jamie Nelson

Come and wander through Biblical narratives of wilderness, rivers, gardens, and starry skies in a retreat exploring the rich nature imagery present in the Advent lectionary. Through scripture, prayer, and creative practice, we will explore Advent as a season of watchfulness, restoration, hidden growth, and holy hospitality. Together we’ll contemplate how God’s renewing presence appears in disturbed landscapes and ordinary places made ready for hope to take root.

“Our Guide and Chart”: Scripture and the Journey of Prayer

By Curator | May 28, 2026 |

Location: The Monastery, Cambridge
Thursday 5 p.m. – Sunday 2 p.m., October 8-11, 2026
Leader: Br. Lain Wilson

Amid the busyness of life, when so much demands our time and attention, we can easily find ourselves lost when attempting to establish or renew a practice of prayer. Holy Scripture can be “our guide and chart,” in the words of a familiar hymn, in our journey of prayer. Through instruction, practice, and reflection on two forms of prayer using Scripture, meditative reading (lectio divina) and imaginative prayer, this retreat invites you to discover how the Word of God may lead you into new and surprising encounters with the Holy One.
