I attended a retreat a few weekends ago. It took place on the property of the Sisters of Christian Charity in beautiful Mendham, NJ.
Here are a few pictures of the serene and meditative place. This post is a response to the Weekly Photo Challenge: From Lines to Patterns. To view larger photos, click on any picture.
