This retreat is based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. It will be a time to practice silence in order to make room for God to work in your life and strengthen your relationship with him. In the silence you are better able to hear God’s invitation to open your heart and surrender your soul in a deeper way. Each day you will meet with a spiritual director to assist you in discerning God’s invitation and to offer suggestions to guide you during your silence. This cost is $235 a person with a $50 non-refundable, non-transferable deposit required at the time of registration. Lodging and meals are included. The registration deadline is Dec. 20, 2016. Participants may also choose a five or eight day silent directed retreat. The five-day retreat will be held Jan. 5-11, 2017 at a cost of $385 per person. The eight-day retreat will be Jan. 5-14, 2017 at a cost $575 per person.
