About the Retreat:

As have all other Seven Thunders activities, the Contemplative Intensive Retreat (CIR) usually held at Our Lady of Guadalupe Trappist Abbey in June has been changed to a virtual retreat on Zoom. 
 
Sr. Joan Saalfeld, SNJM, will lead the retreat, present talks and offer interviews. Sr. Joan Saalfeld is a member of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, a retired professor of literature, and is currently living in West Linn, Oregon. She has studied and practiced Zen and Christian Contemplation for over 40 years, first with Robert Aitken Roshi, then with Willigis Jaeger, OSB, Roshi, and lastly with Pat Hawk, C.Ss.R., Roshi, who encouraged her to be a teacher in our Contemplative Intensive Retreats.  She has been doing so since 2012.
 
The retreat will take place from 8:45 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Friday, June 26, and from 9:00 am to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 27. You will sit in your own space, access the retreat via Zoom on your own device and provide your own meals. Once your registration has been received and accepted, you will be sent a link for the retreat as well as a PDF containing the retreat schedule and all retreat prayers.
