My wife and I were looking into retreats, and I wondered if there are any Byzantine religious houses in the finger lakes region of NY or the north of PA which would be open to retreat visitors. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks, that looks like a very prayerful place. However, the Tai Chi classes and talks on Medjugorje are slightly concerning. I will think about it.

BEWARE of Basilian nuns doing Tai Chi!! 😃

Unfortunately there are few Byzantine places for retreat in the whole of the US. Hopefully the monks of HRM will be receiving guests soon at their new monastery in Wisconsin.

The nuns at Holy Theophany in Washington State offer retreats.

I don’t believe Holy Transfiguration (Mt Tabor) accept guests any longer, and I don’t think their Skete in Michigan accept guests either.

We need to get on the ball and get some more Byzantine centers for retreats going!

Oh no!!! :eek: I did not know about the Tai Chi classes or talks on Medjugorje. I only saw the retreat page and didn’t delve any deeper into the website.

I apologize for not being more careful and definitely don’t recommend going there for a retreat if that is the case! I will search for other places but will be more careful this time. :o

God bless

That’s OK. Just goes to show that flakiness is not solely the preserve of us Latin rite Catholics 😛

But I also think that you would have much to gain by spending time with the good sisters in Uniontown.
 
Ah the good old days when gamers were hardcore and the rest of the world was casual. But in today’s gaming world, the definitive line between the two has become blurred with things like raid finders and two-player dungeons. With the new Raid Finder imminent in patch 4.3 my thoughts concerning World of Warcraft lately have been heavy with the gravitas between the ever increasing divide between “casual” and “hardcore” players. I’ve touched upon this before in previous articles but never before has the issue been such an honest-to-Old Gods slap in the face to the hardcore crowd. With the Raid Finder we may be on the advent of a truly new age on the MMO timeline, an age where the long held elite content becomes the homogenised grind fodder of the masses.
