Take Your Retreat Anywhere
God is present and stirring in your life wherever you are. But sometimes it can be helpful to slow down and pay attention more intentionally. This can happen at a retreat center, a friend's cabin, or even in your own home. Set aside some time and let a member of our experienced spiritual direction team know when you would like to meet.
Meeting With a Guide
- helps clarify the whys and how's of your retreat
- encourages you to be gentle with yourself (and sometimes a little more firm)
- prepares you to bring the fruits of your renewal back into your daily life
