Brief Description:
The Eco-Justice Retreat is a brand new retreat offered in collaboration with Students for an Environmentally Active Campus (SEAC), MUSG, and the Office for Sustainability. This retreat will allow students to dive deeply into these issues that impact our commitment to social justice, those on the margins of society, and the preservation of our world. Additionally, we will learn more about how the Jesuits, and us as partners, have committed themselves and our campus to this work.
On this retreat, you will find yourself;
- Having hands on experiences of sustainable farming, restoration of land projects, and more
- Learning more about sustainable practices and ecologically sound agriculture.
- Thinking about how you are called to be part of this work.
- Relaxing away from campus to focus on yourself and God.
- Having fun!
