At Water & Wood Retreat, silence opened into revelation for Shannon Finnegan. A single strand of spider web, visible only in the right light, became a living metaphor for God’s strength, beauty, and presence. A reflection on stillness, attention, and falling in love with the Divine through the quiet language of creation.

During James Salimes’s Woodland Quiet retreat, the sounds of water and wind became an unexpected teacher. What if the rocks in the river and the leaves in the trees are not interruptions, but invitations? A meditation on resistance, attention, and the quiet wisdom that emerges when we lean in.
