Women’s Retreat 2026: Practicing the Presence of God
You are invited to spend a weekend of intentional time alongside the Holy Spirit and other women (all women-identified adults welcome!) at Loyola’s quiet retreat center with restored prairie land, a lake, and huge bur oaks. The retreat will include structured and unstructured moments, large and small group conversation, introvert and extrovert time, shared meals, the option of a shared or private room, and a closing Eucharist. Heidi Haverkamp, priest associate at SPR, writer, and spiritual director, will lead the retreat. Register today for May 16-17, with the option of an additional night on Friday, May 15. Fill out this registration form and submit your payment by March 27. Contact Kimberly Martin (kimartin0623@gmail.com) with any questions.
