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.
