Pathways Retreat

Hospitality in a Time of COVID-19

One of Pathways Retreat’s values is hospitality, the generous treatment of guests. Part of hospitality is recognizing when the generous treatment of guests means setting boundaries – to say, “It is in your best interest that we welcome you at a later time.”

It is with this spirit of hospitality and following the Governor’s orders, that the co-directors have decided to close the retreat house and cottage to guests through April 6, at which time the closure will be reviewed. It is our intention and hope to slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community. The trails and labyrinths on our 17 acres of land remain open. We ask that guests mindfully practice physical distancing.

Recognizing the importance of prayer and community in this time of uncertainty, morning prayers will continue virtually Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 8:00. Pathways normal rhythm of prayer includes a monthly healing prayer service as prayed at the Iona Abbey in Scotland. Beginning Monday, March 30, Pathways will offer this prayer weekly from noon – 12:30pm via zoom. Links for these prayers are below. Please contact a co-director if you have technical problems accessing prayers.

Sincerely,
Evan, Linda & Julie - Pathways Co-Directors

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.
