Behind your image, below your words,
above your thoughts,
the silence of another world waits."
— John O'Donohue

Spiritual Retreats are an intensive time, engaging in spiritual community, seeking after the sacred.  Celtic retreats at Morning Bridge are comprised of time together as a community and time in solitude in the  midst of the natural setting beside the Sandy River which runs past the Morning Bridge Center compound.  Community building strengthens the individual seeker in two directions:  inward, journeying towards the internal light of collective consciousness and outward, renewing the face of the earth through sacred union with others.

Retreats at Morning Bridge Center are small group events that focus on one specific topic such as discovering vision, group dream exploration, creation of spiritual and sacred artworks, and practice of contemplative prayer.  Retreats are from one half day to one week in duration and are typically limited to 12 participants.

Guest facilitators will present  on special topics including icon writing, the ancient art of drawing prayers; the creation and use of soul cards; sacred music and singing of the psalms; sacred movement and contemplative yoga; and sacred painting.

Morning Bridge Center has room to house 10 to 12 participants, some in rooms shared by two and some single rooms.  Meals are included in the fee for accommodations.  Local Bed and Breakfast rooms are also available to participants.  Morning Bridge Center is comprised of two larger buildings and several smaller structures on three acres situated on the Sandy river in the western mountains of Maine.

Surrounded by natural beauty, pristine forests, and wildlife, Morning Bridge retreats are a taste of the Celtic thin places where the light of the Creator is met.  The Center is situated in the midst of a small mountain village on the edge of ancient granite stones, smoothed by centuries of careful caressing of the river nearby.  Join us in discovering the sacred in creation; immerse yourself in the waters of light.
