Listening to the Silence: April 12, 2025

Use your quiet time to reflect, respond, and rest in God’s unwavering love.

Join your spiritual guide, Rita Ricks, for a day of journaling, silence, and exploration. Leave your phone behind; bring your journal and your Bible and prepare to connect with your Creator as you wander the quiet gardens and hidden retreats of Richmond Hill.

Arrive at Richmond Hill at 8:45 a.m. to begin this spiritual experience. The program runs from 9 am to 4 pm, and lunch and chapel are included.  Participants will be given a SILENCE tag so as not to be disturbed during exploration, and lunch will be eaten in silence.

Rita Ricks facilitates this workshop. She found silence at Richmond Hill in 2009. And Rita is a witness to the power of listening. Rita Ricks is a spiritual director and a life coach. When she’s not at Richmond Hill, you’ll find her at Speak to Your Spirit.

Be still and know. Begin and end the day sharing your thoughts and experiences in intimate dialogue with your peers and with Rita as your guide.

Suggested donation $55 which includes lunch. There are also reduced rate and pay-it-forward registration options.

For further information, please contact Rev. Sheryl Johnson (sjohnson@richmondhillva.org, 804-783-7903). Please register in advance as space is limited.
