This is the version of my Commonplace retreat you can make your way through on your own. If you have been wanting to attend to the world with keen eyes, finding God right here in the ordinary days and your own experience, this is for you! Over the course of 24 days, you will receive an email each morning, but a big part of your retreat is what you do with the daily prompts, how you respond creatively, in prayer.

The invitation is to keep a “Commonplace book” as a gathering place of the gifts of Ordinary Time—words and images that speak something to you of God all along the way and within the reality of your actual life.

We know it takes 21 days to make a habit, so may this 24 days be a space of developing a rhythm of attentiveness that carries over into the rest of your ordinary life, too!

There is also the option of adding on spiritual direction at a reduced rate as part of this retreat, so contact me (jamie@anamcara.com) if you would like to take advantage of that, even after your retreat gets going! And if there is enough interest at a given time, we may be able to create a weekly group for the length of the course as well.
