Linwood offers a variety of retreats as well as days and evenings of prayer. We welcome individual private retreats and outside group rentals. We often have room available for individuals seeking a quiet stay. Group rentals are not sponsored by Linwood, are not open to the public, and are not listed in our brochure. Please note, we have been blessed to have a pretty full calendar, many groups book over a year in advance. Please contact us for rates and availability.

Spiritual Direction

Linwood is blessed to have several Spiritual Directors on staff and to offer ongoing Spiritual Direction. Spiritual direction is “help given by one Christian to another which enables that person to pay attention to God’s personal communication to him or her, to respond to this personally communicating God, to grow in intimacy with this God, and to live out the consequences of the relationship.” (William A. Barry and William J. Connolly, The Practice of Spiritual Direction)
- Spiritual direction focuses on religious experience. It is concerned with a person’s actual experience of a relationship with God.
- Spiritual direction is about a relationship. The religious experience is not isolated, nor does it consist of extraordinary events. It is what happens in an ongoing relationship between the person and God. Most often this is a relationship that is experienced in prayer.
- Spiritual direction is a relationship that is going somewhere. God is leading the person to deeper faith and more generous service. The spiritual director asks not just “what is happening?” but “what is moving forward?”
- The real spiritual director is God. God touches the human heart directly. The human spiritual director does not “direct” in the sense of giving advice and solving problems. Rather, the director helps a person respond to God’s invitation to a deeper relationship.
