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 spiritual 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
  • 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.  The summer beauty of our grounds will greatly add to the experience of God's presence.  Register

 

Private Retreats

You can choose 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.

 

July 14-21   8-Day IDR: A Time For Discernment
presented by
Patrick Cleary-Burns

 

These are challenging times.  How do we discover the best way to serve our Loving God is the midst of constant change?  How do face transitions like graduation or retirement? Like turning 20 or 30 or 50 or 70?  How do we overcome loss?  How do we respond to the call we think we hear in our heart?  The Christian tradition is full of wisdom from the ones who have faced these challenges before. 

 

This 8-day individually directed retreat (IDR) will be spent in quiet prayer and reflection.  Each retreatant will meet daily with the director, Patrick Cleary-Burns.  This peaceful retreat, set in the wooded beauty of JRH, is an ideal opportunity to do the important work of discernment.   Cost is $375 and includes room and board. Register here.
