Join us for our new Centering Prayer Series, offered every other month. This series provides a welcoming space to learn and experience the practice of Centering Prayer—a method of silent prayer that opens the heart and mind to the presence of God.
Our trained staff will gently guide you through the foundations of the practice, offering time for instruction, shared silence, and reflection. Whether you are new to contemplative prayer or seeking to deepen your spiritual journey, this introduction is a wonderful starting point.
BETHANY RETREAT CENTER was established in 1982 by the Anawim Religious Community of Frenchville, Pennsylvania. It is a place apart to rest, renew and be recreated for those seeking a deeper relationship with God.
Located on 140 acres of partially wooded land in the hills of Pennsylvania, the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful — only 15 miles off Interstate 80.
