January 9 - 14 , 2012
This five day silent retreat is based on the retreat model offered by St. Ignatius of Loyola in the Spiritual Exercises. Along with daily meetings with a spiritual director to help process and guide the retreat, individuals will have freedom in forming the overall pattern of his or her retreat. As a silent, individual retreat, there are plenty of opportunities for personal prayer, reflection, rest, and time outdoors.
This retreat invites people seeking to grow in their relationship with God to leave the busyness and noise of campus behind, enter into deep quiet, and there encounter the voice of God.
For both general and in-depth information about spiritual direction, please visit the Ignatian Spirituality website.
