This retreat experience is a chance for all to gather for a Pilgrimage of Peace in the Spirit of Taize. Each day we will sing and pray, listen and speak, work and play all in the name of Peace. Together we will search for the sources of peace and seek to become peace-makers in this world. All are welcome. Please make time for peace.

The Taizé Community is an ecumenical Christian monastic order in France. It is composed of a little over 100 brothers who come from Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant traditions. The participants stay in very simple group accommodations for prayer, Bible study, sharing, communal work, simple chants, common meals, reflection and discussion on questions of spirituality and social justice.

Accommodations: Rustic Cabins (bring your own bedding); washhouses located nearby

Meals: All meals provided in the Dining Hall
Fees: $69 per person (4 days, 3 nights and 9
meals) Scholarships are available.

Retreat Facilitator: Brother Stefan Andre Waligur is a contemplative musician/composer, retreat leader, and peace activist connected for many years with the Church of the Saviour in Washington DC. For the past 10 yrs Stefan has been going to Taize and finds himself inspired to share the message of peace they practice.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Your little brother,

Stefan

In the Spirit of Taize…a New Ecumenical Community
I trust you are enjoying the changing of the season with all the sights, sounds and scents that October offers us. Since last we saw each other in the Pilgrimage of Peace in August at Rolling Ridge many things have been developing. Here’s a few to keep you updated. I’ve moved into the River House on land adjacent to Rolling Ridge and close to the Stillpoint Lodge. It’s lovely. Still don’t have a car but I get around on an ATV ( all terrain vehicle). Think little motorcycle with 4 wheels.
