What is a Retreat?A retreat is a sacred pause in the hustle and bustle of life, a deliberate withdrawal from the ordinary to seek spiritual renewal, reflection, and growth in the presence of God. It offers a space for individuals to reconnect with themselves, with others, and with the divine. In the Catholic tradition, retreats often center around prayer, meditation, scripture reflection, and teachings of the Church. It's a time to deepen your relationship with God and discern His will for your life.
I'm not Catholic, should I go on Retreat?Absolutely! Retreats are not exclusive to any particular religious denomination. They are open to everyone seeking spiritual nourishment, regardless of their faith background. Whether you're Catholic, non-Catholic, or even agnostic, a retreat can provide a transformative experience. It's an opportunity to explore your inner self, your values, and your connection to something greater than yourself. You'll find acceptance, community, and a safe space for personal growth.

What will happen during the Retreat?
During the retreat, you can expect a variety of activities designed to facilitate spiritual growth and reflection centered around God. There may be guided meditations, prayer sessions where you commune with God, scripture readings that illuminate His teachings, and teachings on various aspects of faith to deepen your understanding of God's plan for you. You'll have opportunities for silence and solitude to listen to God's voice and discern His path for your life. Many retreats also include group discussions, communal meals where you share in the blessings of God's provision, and times for fellowship with others on the journey of faith. Ultimately, the retreat experience is tailored to nourish your soul and deepen your relationship with God, the divine source of love and guidance.
What should I expect?
Well, anticipate encountering moments of profound insight, peace, and connection with God. However, it's important not to have too many expectations and to approach the retreat with an open heart and mind. Be prepared for challenges and moments of discomfort as you confront aspects of yourself or your beliefs. Retreats often provide a space for self-examination and growth, which can sometimes be confronting but ultimately rewarding. You'll likely leave with a sense of clarity, purpose, and renewed energy to face the challenges of life. Embrace the journey with an open heart and mind, and you may be surprised by the transformation that awaits you.
