Music as Spiritual Practice
Weekend Retreat with Martha Gallagher
May 22 – 24, 2026
During this contemplative retreat we explore music as spiritual practice, using several beautiful practices that, while seemingly simple are actually quite potent, enriching our time with and in our music. These practices come together to offer us the opportunity to connect more deeply with ourselves, our instruments, the music and Spirit. Whether we are playing, singing, practicing, learning, creating or performing, we can transform our involvement with our music into a deep and rich spiritual practice.
This retreat is for all musicians (instrumental or vocal); most suitable for intermediate beginner to advanced-level experience. Note: this retreat would not be suitable for novice levels.
Please bring your instrument.
Please note: this is not a technique or repertoire worship; it is a spiritual retreat.

Unknown Knowing: A Women’s 12 Step Retreat for Deepening Spiritual Connection
There’s a place within each of us that knows—a quiet, steady presence beneath the noise of fear, control, and self-will. But how often do we dismiss that inner voice because we can’t explain it?
Unknown Knowing is a retreat for women in 12 Step recovery who long to deepen their conscious contact with a Higher Power—and with themselves.
Through prayer, meditation, journaling, movement, and women’s circle, we will create space to pause, listen, and reconnect with the still, small voice within. Together, we’ll explore how to trust our intuitive guidance, even when we don’t fully understand it.
This is a space of spiritual exploration—not about figuring it out, but about allowing the truth to rise.
