Ash Wednesday and The Contemplative Life

Wednesday, February 18, 2026
Location: Archabbey Guest House and Retreat Center
Session Faculty: Jane Feliz Rush

At this workshop, we will contemplate the ashes as we consider dying to self so that we can live freely in the Spirit. We will experience contemplative prayer practices, such as centering prayer and lectio divina, as we enrich our journey through Lent and beyond. We will answer the question: How can contemplative prayer help us to open our hearts and minds to God's Word and will for our lives. (From 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Central Time, includes lunch, $75 per guest)
