Book Binding Retreat
February 12 - 16, 2027
Monasteries have been binding books for more than a thousand years, for the glory of God. The Monastery of St. Gertrude participated in this tradition. A sacrament is where the human meets the holy.—come learn how it is done, and leave with a blank book you created yourself in an atmosphere of prayer. While the glue dries, we will offer chances for contemplation, discussion, or for time alone in nature. Limit six.
