In-Person Event with Online Option: Modern Mystical and Contemplative Wisdom (West Hartford, CT)
It’s always a delight to return to the Holy Family Passionist Retreat Center for another weekend of silence, contemplation, and prayerful conversation. Hope to see you there (but if Connecticut is too far away for you to travel, there’s an online option as well).

CCE Overnight Retreat
November 6-8, 2026
Friday 3:00 p.m. to Sunday 12:00 p.m. (ET)
Carl McColman
The twentieth century brought sweeping technological, political, and social change, reshaping religion and spirituality in public and private life. It also witnessed a revival of mystical and contemplative spirituality led by remarkable teachers. This contemplative weekend invites deeper silence and centered living through the wisdom of three figures: Howard Thurman, Martin Luther King Jr.’s mentor; Evelyn Underhill, the British writer on mysticism; and Ram Dass, an Interspiritual teacher bridging Eastern wisdom and Western psychology.
The weekend includes Centering Prayer, contemplative practices, teaching, reflection and sharing.
