WEEKEND RETREAT PRICES

The All Inclusive Price is $197, or $167 if paid by the early discount deadline.  (This price covers lodging, meals, and classes.)                    

CATHOLIC RENEWAL CENTER (CRC), FT. WORTH, TEXAS:

The CRC is a wonderful place to get away from it all.  Originally, the building was a convent for the nuns who taught at Nolan Catholic High School.  In 1972, the building was purchased and converted into a retreat center and bookstore by a group of visionary lay women who “bridge the gap” by hosting holistic and inter-faith retreats and renewal opportunities.  When you walk in you can feel the how special this simple place is--the result of years of good people doing good things here.  You notice it in the lovely courtyard filled with flowers, the comfy visiting rooms, the small chapel, the amazingly inviting sprawling grounds with large old trees, and the huge window-lined multi-purpose room where we meet and eat and have our yoga & meditation sessions.  The center is located at 4503 Bridge Street, next to Nolan High School, on the north side of I-30 near Oakland Exit.  It is in the east/central part of Ft. Worth, east of downtown. www.catholiccrc.org

ADDITIONAL RETREATS & LOCATIONS:

Janie has held retreats in private homes and other retreat centers, and can hold a retreat in any suitable location, for any group.  Contact Janie to discuss holding a retreat at a location of your choice, or for your group.  

SILENT RETREAT:

Consider attending a silent weekend retreat.  If you've never done this, you may not be able to even conceive of the restfulness it allows, not to mention the ease of self-exploration, and soul connectedness.
