Join us at Dominican Center at Marywood for a weekend of sacred rest, writing and communion with other women who love the written word. We will explore various ways in which writing can serve as spiritual practice, connecting us with our spirit and the Divine. Enjoy the luxury of a weekend of writing, walking and being with yourself, Spirit and others. Experience the power of beauty to inspire you; the joy of community with those who understand how writing reveals the soul. This program is ideal for new writers or those who journal as well as the experienced writer. We will feature presentations, group discussions and practice sessions; five delicious meals, labyrinth walk and a movie night. Also included is a Sunday Morning Salon to share our writing.
Our retreat guide will be Janice Lynne Lundy, Spiritual Director and Author.
Janice Lynne Lundy is a former educator in the area of religious studies, a nationally recognized speaker, and the author of four personal/spiritual growth books, her newest being Your Truest Self: Embracing the Woman You Are Meant to Be (Sorin Books.)

For the past thirteen years, Jan has also served as the Lifestyle Writer for Women’s LifeStyle Magazine, a franchised publication distributed throughout the U.S. Her love of being with other people as they journey through life is enhanced by her work as an Interfaith Spiritual Director.
