The week-long program runs from July 13 to 18 at Maryknoll Sisters Center at 10 Pinesbridge Road in Ossining.

Retreat director Margaret Silf will explore a series of faith questions through the event. Silf's books include "The Other Side of Chaos: Breaking Through When Life Is Breaking Down" and "One Hundred More Wisdom Stories."

“Our faith can very easily become divorced from our everyday life experience and locked into a box we call ‘sacred,’” said Institute representatives in a brochure. “How can we rediscover God in the minutes and days of our everyday living? What does it mean to walk the pathways of our own lives as companions of Jesus? How will we respond to the call to bring something of God’s dream to birth in our own life circumstances? ”
