Directed Retreats

Directed Retreats are a sacred time for you to deepen your relationship with God.

There is no required length of a Directed Retreat, although the average time frame is eight days. It could be 3 or more days in length. You usually meet individually with a trained director for approximately 45 minutes each day to share what is going on between you and God, to discern the interior movements of the Holy Spirit in your life and, especially, during your prayer. Suggestions for ongoing prayer are often offered.

Aside from these daily conversations and your own personal prayer, your time is unstructured and available for resting, spiritual reading, relaxing, enjoying meals, listening to music, exercising, etc.
