Several women are gathered around a table in a bright art studio, working on their paintings with large abstract art pieces hanging on the wall behind them.

Listening House Inc

Listening House cultivates spaces for spiritual renewal, offering retreats and support for weary leaders and seekers. They aim to foster deeper love, prayer, and connection with God, providing a sanctuary for rest and reflection.

Listening House exists to cultivate places where people encounter the welcome of God and are formed into lives of deeper love, prayer, and faithful presence.We believe that listening is one of the first acts of love. In a world marked by exhaustion, loneliness, and spiritual disconnection, we are creating spaces where people can slow down, rest, pray, and rediscover friendship with the Triune God.Through retreats, spiritual direction, formation cohorts, clergy care, creative practice, and hospitality, Listening House seeks to serve weary leaders, artists, seekers, churches, and anyone longing for a life that can more fully hold the love of God.As our ministry grows, we are especially honored to serve alongside the <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.dioceseofstanthony.com/" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Diocese and Order of St. Anthony (DOSA)</a>, supporting the spiritual formation of clergy, oblates, and lay leaders while offering places of renewal for those who spend their lives caring for others. The first expression of Listening House is Marymount&mdash;a small retreat hermitage nestled behind my home and next to the garden.Marymount is being created as a quiet place where individuals can step away from the demands of daily life to pray, rest, create, grieve, discern, and simply be with God.It will offer overnight retreats, spiritual direction, clergy renewal, guided retreats, creative practices, and simple hospitality for those in need of restoration.Renovation is well underway, and we are now entering the final stage of preparation before opening our doors to our first guests.Our current goal is to raise $15,000 to complete the remaining construction, furnish the space with beauty and care, provide creative and spiritual resources for guests, and establish an initial scholarship fund so that financial limitations never become a barrier for those most in need of retreat and renewal.Every gift&mdash;large or small&mdash;helps prepare this place of welcome.
