Surprise Ahead!
What if we knew each morning, each start of a day (or a year) to be full of promise and good, and so we met each one with expectation and joy? What if we woke up and barreled into the new day like children hurrying to the tree on Christmas morning? Is that only for little ones? Can we hear God saying as we wake, “I have a gift for you, and I can’t wait for you to open it, to see it.” Imagine! As we approach 2026, is it possible we can see and live this way? What gets in the way? Before the night of fireworks, toasts, first footings, (or early bedtime!), spend the day with the Hope who holds you, who will help you hold fast to hope, wonder, and surprise. Lunch is included. Guided by Joanne Cahoon.

From Aging to Saging - Day Retreat
2026-01-14 09:30 - 16:00 | Bon Secours Retreat & Conference Center, 1525 Marriottsville Rd,, Marriottsville, MD, 21104, United States
Aging is the most common human experience. How we view the aging process has a significant impact on how we harvest the gifts given and the gifts received in our life. We are living longer these days, and so often we hear the phrase, “I don’t like getting old.” This common phrase becomes a daily mantra for some. Does this mentality serve you and enhance your being? Can you instead embrace aging to cultivate the inwardness from which your wisdom grows? What is your meaningful spiritual and life legacy? How can you use your experience and wisdom to contribute to help the world? These are some of the questions and insights for our day of reflection. Join us as we explore ways to embrace the wisdom in our life’s journey through meaningful conversation, prayer, and resources for self-reflection. Lunch is included. Guided by Sharon Scibek.

Aside from the introductory session and your spiritual direction meetings, you will be on your own to experience a weekend of personal reflection. Mass will be available on Sunday and Monday. Guided by Fr. Jim McBurney, Amy Sorensen Kulesa, and Sr. Pat Mensing.

There will be trained teams available to provide individual prayer using the Unbound Model of prayer.
If you would like to schedule an appointment or want more information, please contact us at unboundministrymaryland@gmail.com by Monday, January 12.
