Silent Weekend Retreats

June 7 - 9

September 6 - 8

Held at the Foehliage, Galena, Maryland

Give yourself the gift of stillness, quiet, and grounding on the shore of the Sassafras River.

During each silent weekend, there will be free-flowing time for resting, silence, journaling, and nourishing food, all at your own pace. We will begin and end our weekend with gentle conversation for a simple evening supper on Friday and breakfast on Sunday. Each participant will have their own spacious bedroom and the communal use of the living and dining rooms, the kitchen, and the beautiful grounds and riverside spaces.

Living into Your Life:

A Weekend Women’s Retreat

with Linda Mastro

Friday, October 25 – Sunday, October 27, 2024

We look forward to this weekend retreat lead by Linda Mastro as we sink into the riverside setting of the Foehliage Retreat Center in Galena, MD.

As young girls, we dream of what we will do when we grow up. As we grow, opportunities call us to careers, relationships, and adventures. As the decades roll by, we find ourselves entertaining different questions: Who am I, deep inside? What brings me joy? How do I reconsider old stories? What visions draw me into the future?

This retreat welcomes all of who you are, from dreaming to adventuring to reconsidering. We will take time to appreciate the joys and challenges that have made us the women we are today and how our life experiences have prepared us for new roles.

Visit the Hermitage

At the Retreat House, we’ve grown fond of calling our place for personal retreats -- the Hermitage -- which means secluded retreat. Hermitage overnights have become a well-loved experience for those times when nourishing, restful time away from our complex lives is what most grounds and restores us.

Learn more about personal overnight retreats (HERE).
