Guides & Companions
Samuel Rahberg & Peter Watkins are so steeped in the Benedictine and Ignatian traditions that their conversations often weave in wisdom from two classic visions of the Christian life.
In this 8-week online retreat, Sam and Peter explore the big ideas Benedict and Ignatian shared, the practices that made them unique, and the kinds of suggestions that make it all practical today.
Either would be glad to accompany you personally, if you would appreciate the extra support. Indicate your preference for spiritual direction below.

Each week you'll get a message that another hour's worth of video and content is ready for you to use whenever it is convenient. Sam and Peter teach individually and/or together, through videos, writing, and links to other helpful references.

Each week features at least one new prayer practice from the Benedictine or Ignatian traditions. After teaching that mode of prayer, Sam and Peter then add recommendations to try if you are just starting out and tips for those who are expanding their practice.

To maximize your sense of support or to get the most out of your experience, add at 3 or 8, one-hour, one-on-one meetings with Sam or Peter. If you are curious but not certain, email info@woodandwaterretreats.com for a free initial consultation.
