Pathways Rhythms May 2020 May the Risen Christ be with you, lifting you from every darkness and revealing to you the hidden life in every death. May you rise to every opportunity to know God…in the love of friends, in the beauty of creation, and in every peak and valley of your singular life. May the Risen Christ bless you. ― Maxine Shonk, Blessings Upon Blessings: A Book of Blessings ― Pathways Retreat’s Mystic for the Easter season is Maxine Shonk, a Dominican Sister of Peace, living in Columbus, Ohio, and ministering as a spiritual director, retreat leader, author, and preacher. Retreat House Closed, Rhythm of Prayer Continues The Retreat House will remain closed for the month of May. During this time, Pathways is pared down to its core essence: prayer, paying attention to God. Opportunities to pay attention to God continue to be offered by Pathways through our rhythm of prayer Monday – Friday and our land, available from dawn to dusk.

Ask them online or call 574.202.2864 Land Continues to be Open Our trails and labyrinths remain open. We invite you to use them during these spring days as temperatures warm and days lengthen. Time in nature may be one of the most important ways to cope with the uncertainty and stress of living with the pandemic. And slowing down to experience nature in a prayerful, mindful way may be the best way to be outdoors . As you come to Pathways, please stay 6 feet away from other guests.
