Retreats
The Abbey is pleased to offer opportunities for people to respond to Jesus’ invitation to His disciples, ‘come away with Me; let us go alone to a quiet place and rest for a while.’ (Mark 6:31). It’s in dedicated times like this that participants are able to get in touch with God, themselves, and each other in ways that aren’t normally possible in the normal pace and places of life.
The Abbey house, though within a mile of the city center, is a remarkably quiet and peaceful place for a day, overnight, or multi-day Retreats. We are also fully able to lead Retreats online, or at a site of your choice.
Guided Retreat: We are able to offer a sanctified setting with specific guidance from the Scriptures and from experience on how to Retreat with Jesus. This can be done in a partial day, day, or multi-day experience. On our third floor, we offer a space for an individual our couple to stay for up to two weeks on Retreat, on Pilgrimage, or on assignment for writing or discernment.
Hosted Retreat: We are able to take care of the details of hospitality, onsite or online, so that you or your group can enter into a Retreat of your own design, either for a day, an overnight, or multi-day experience.
Home Retreat: We would be glad to prepare materials for your personal use at home or the location of your choice, so that you can receive assistance in entering into the Presence of the Lord.
We ask for a donation of $35 for a day’s stay or $50 if overnight, $12 for dinner, $10 for lunch, and $8 for breakfast. We receive cash, checks payable to “The Abbey of The Way”, Credit Card, Venmo, or donations made through the blue Paypal button on the bottom of this page,

Spiritual Formation Groups and Offerings
We sponsor Groups for those interested in pursuing, training, or leading out of the Vision of God, the Virtues of Jesus, and a Via or Way of Life for disciples. At the top of this page, you’ll find tabs for “Followers” of The Way for everyone, “People” of The Way for parents, “Shepherds” of The Way for pastors or pastoral leaders, and The “Forerunners” Fellowship for leaders preparing for revival.
Mornings of Reflection are held on third Saturdays from 10 -1 1:30 AM, each month considering an Attribute of God related to a Virtue of Jesus in us, grounded in a spiritual discipline. These are offered both onsite and simultaneously online through Zoom
Spiritual direction/mentoring: meetings onsite or online with individuals or groups to reflect on life with God the Holy Trinity, to grow in His Virtues, and to practice a Way of Life for focusing all of life on Him.
Sacramental confession: an opportunity to be reconciled with God through using a Prayer Book Rite, offered privately with the Abbot
