Individually Directed Retreats


 

An individually directed retreat gives you time away by yourself where you can rest, refresh your spirit, and welcome Christ more deeply into your daily life.  These retreats may last anywhere between three to thirty days. As a participant you will be assigned a personal retreat director who will guide you through the retreat process.  

Your personal director will lead you through an exploration of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola.  These exercises will move you closer to God through the gift of prayer. Through daily meetings with the director the retreatant is guided in:

becoming aware of the reality of God’s presence and activity
                 coming to trust this awareness
                              and responding to this presence and activity. 

Like most retreats, the environment will be peaceful and quiet, with daily Liturgy. The content of prayer is based on one’s personal journey with God, through scripture.

Private Retreats


You can opt to make a private retreat during the Individually Directed Retreat periods. This means you do the retreat on your, without the guidance of a personal spiritual director.  You will eat meals with the Directed retreatants and are welcome to participate in the daily liturgy.

The cost of an individually directed or private retreat depends on the length of the retreat.  The cost includes the spiritual director’s fee, a private room, and meals.

Please note: Retreats can be shortened depending on the needs of the retreatant.
