Retreat Is Within Reach
A Norbertine Invitation to the Contemplative Practice of Retreat

After decades of public service, Anthony Romero now follows a quieter calling. As Director of the Norbertine Spirituality Center, he supports people who step away from the busy hustle of life to find clarity and peace through contemplative retreat.

Listening for the Sound of the Genuine
Howard Thurman on Listening Deeply to the Music Within

How do we discern what is ours to do? This reflection on Howard Thurman’s 1980 “The Sound of the Genuine” speech invites us to deep listening to ourselves and each other. When we attend to the music within, we discover vocation as a harmony in which divine love, identity, and communion with others takes shape.
