Excellent program. Mary is a wonderful leader who creates a safe place to explore our inner worlds. Thank you. And Bethany is simply lovely, perfect setting for retreats. Highly recommend!

This retreat was conducted by Mary Dwyer an excellent teacher and founding member of the Contemplative Outreach. I have been to separate retreats and one other with Mary. Both with Mary are highly impactful to my practice. Mary's experience leading retreats evokes a palatable sense of the Silence, a holiness arose around all of us until we broke the Silent on the last day of the retreat. A retreat full of long time meditators creates an environment thick with the Silence I came to meditate within. A retreat at Bethany provides a beautiful atmosphere for Contemplatives. Dwyer's command of the meditative techniques delivered within a hermeutic teaching method plant deep seeds I can't wait to realize.

It was a transformational experience. Nothing could have been better. Not the food, the setting, the people, the location, the weather.
