Thank you for joining Sofia and me at the first Original Prayer Weekend Retreat.
A great mystical adventure awaits filled with laughter, community, and embodied prayer in many beautiful forms, both ancient and new.
Here are a few things to help you prepare for the retreat, plus some gifts and an invitation to our concert!
Meals
Carondelet Center will be catering all the meals.
In addition to their regular menu, they offer vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options.
If you have any dietary requirements please let me know before I leave for Minnesota on Saturday, June 8. My sister and sister-in-law live in St Paul so I’ll be going early to spend time with them.
My email is janetconner@tampabay.rr.com
Cell Phone
Once I leave Florida for the retreat, I may not have access to email. If you need me, text my cell at 727-515-6904
Schedule
A detailed schedule for the retreat is on the Original Prayer Weekend Retreat page at my site
The Carondelet Center

1890 Randolph Avenue St. Paul, Minnesota
If you wish to stay at the center, they have 2 guest rooms with 3 beds each. The guest rooms have been reserved for this retreat.
The charge is $40/night single occupancy or $35 for double or triple. Because there are only 2 guest rooms, it may not be possible to have a room to yourself. We’ll have to wait and see how many people request rooms.
If you wish to stay in a guest room, email me and I'll let Carondelet Center know your name and the dates you'll be staying. You can pay for your guest room when you check in.
If you wish to stay at a hotel in the area, email me and I’ll put you in touch with Jenny at Carondelet.
Experience the Speed of Love Concert
Sofia and I are performing at Unity of Minneapolis on Wednesday June 12 at 7pm. If you are in town for the retreat, come and sing with us!
