Open to the new year’s unfolding with a retreat that honors your heart, mind, and soul. This retreat includes mindfulness meditation, small and large group discussion, and periods of rest and renewal designed to open your heart, build resilience, and foster compassionate action with clarity of purpose. Restore your spirit and enter the new year with greater calm, clarity, energy, resilience – and ways to sustain yourself in the coming year.

This virtual retreat will culminate on New Year’s Eve with Pendle Hill’s virtual Stellar New Year’s Eve Concert from 8:00pm-10:00pm Eastern Time, followed by our Candlelight Meeting for Worship with Care for the New Year from 11:00pm to Midnight Eastern Time, both via Zoom.
