Research on longevity, happiness, and spiritual wholeness consistently points to these five themes: Belonging & Community, Justice & Integrity, Meaning & Purpose, Sensing the Sacred, and Wonder & Wellness. We are pleased to offer a variety of retreats within these themes at Siena Retreat Center!
Belonging & Community
Humanity is interconnected. We belong to and value one another, sharing a common life and love. Supportive relationships help us become our true selves. An individual’s well-being is intertwined with the well-being of the whole community.
Justice & Integrity
Our values, priorities, and life commitments can have a positive impact in our world as expressions of ethical and socially responsible living. We have a collective calling to be instruments of justice, compassion, and peace in society.
Meaning & Purpose
Discerning and living into your life’s purpose bring meaning and hope, even in the midst of transitions, losses, and tragedies. Fulfillment can be found by discovering God’s grace in our experiences, and using our gifts to serve our neighbors.
Sensing the Sacred
We can develop a deepening awareness of oneness with the Divine, other people, the natural world, and all living things. Our own inner wisdom, thriving, and love of self and others are renewed by transcendent moments through and beyond our senses.
Wonder & Wellness
Being creative, resting, practicing mindfulness, and engaging in self-reflection promote healing from grief, stress, and burdens of the past. We grow in trust, freedom, wholeness, and inner peace by affirming awe and wonder.
