You are invited to mark the turning of the season with a day of quiet reflection and shared stillness at Five Oak Ranch. Set in the beauty of the Hill Country, this silent day offers space to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with yourself, Spirit, and with others in community. Throughout the day you are welcome to walk the labyrinth, participate in group meditation/Centering Prayer at designated times, and rest in the gentle rhythm of silence. Settle into a rocking chair, listen to birdsong, or retreat indoors to a comfortable, air-conditioned space.
Date & Time: Saturday, June 20, 2026, 8am – 3:00pm (We will begin early for early risers and those who want to walk the labyrinth before it gets too hot). You may come at any time and leave at any time during the day. No need to stay the whole time. Please enter and leave in silence.
Location: Five Oak Ranch in Southwest Austin. Address and directions will be sent to registrants a few days before the Quiet Day.
Please bring your lunch. Drinks and snacks will be provided.
