This coming January 2025 I will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of hosting InterMission Silent Retreat, a weekend retreat held twice a year in Alberta, CDA, in which there are no materials to read or videos to watch or speakers to listen to---only the reading of one's own soul in the presence of God. Each participant spends the weekend in silence and meets with a spiritual director 2-3 times in order to discern their experience. We follow the invitation of Jesus, "Come away with me by yourselves and get some rest." I have told myself that I will keep hosting it for as long as people keep coming, and for twenty years, people have kept coming. Ron Klok, Edmonton, AB.
