Bethany Spring is an awesome place. It was a blessing to be with everyone, and I learned so much.DH, May 2009

From the first moment of our arrival at Bethany Spring to our moment of reluctant departure, the graciousness made us feel completely at home. RB, May 2009

I enjoyed the experience immensely. the dialogue was enrichming and challenging. The setting was perfect. It was a wonderful opportunity to share with other seekers. BF, Bridges Retreat, May, 2009

Meeting new friends, not 'old mirrors,' and learning with them is a blessing. DS, Lectio Divina Retreat, May, 2009

Fantastic...a great combination of silence and a 'get away' for daily life, but also meaningful, engaging dialogue + study in the group. JS, Holy Week Retreat, 2009

I wanted to thank you for the New Years Retreat and your words of inspiration, the wonderful food and great hospitality Bethany Spring and the Abbey was a blessing for me; I was on ‘empty’ and very close to leaving my ministry. I am energized now and praying more often every day. Keep up the good work! AH, December 30, 2008-January 2, 2009, New Year's At Bethany Spring.

My experience at Bethany Spring was a spiritual blessing. I came in search of an answer and I found it and so much more. YS, October 12-17, 2008, The Intimate Merton.

 

 

 

Refreshment at the Well...but a deepening of my awareness of Presence in the ordinariness of all things. K, Spring Retreat, 2009

This is truly a blessed place. A holy place. May God continue to use is as a blessing in the lives of his people.CB

You have allowed me the opportunity to find the time and beautiful peace to reconnect with our most amazing and awesome God.LC

This was an incredibly peaceful, thought provoking experience. I got everything I was hoping for out of it...and more. KD, Holy Week Retreat, 2009

The Bridges to Contemplative Living Retreat weekend was a graced time. The process was freeing and allowed for deep sharing. JD, August 15-17, 2008, Bridges to Contemplative Living Retreat.

The comfortable, relaxed, at home atmosphere is wonderful. The home setting with other pilgrims whom I did not know was a joy! anon., July 18-20, 2008, Bridges to Contemplative Living Retreat.

The retreat focused me. SJK, July 18-20, Bridges to Contemplative Living Retreat.


Enriching spiritually, energizing mentally, relaxing physically. RK, May 19-21, 2008, Thomas Merton and Mary Oliver: Poets of the Sacred.

I was brought to depths of self-discovery and prayer that I didn't think possible on a 5-day retreat. Merton's teachings came alive for me. MM, Christmas Retreat 2007.

A spiritually deepening experience. The Merton-centered discussion/conversation/dialogue was helpful in sharing and mining our souls. JS, November 29-December 2, 2007, Bridges to Contemplative Living Retreat.
