Men's and Women's Retreats

Spring, 2013

Gender-based retreats offer students a chance to reflect on and embrace the unique gifts and challenges of spirituality (and life!) lived as a woman or a man.  Relaxed nad fun, plan on laughing a great deal, eating good food and returning rejuvenated for the rest of the semester.

Silent, Directed Retreat

January 7-10, 2013

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola have been a source of inspiration for the Jesuits and others for the past 500 years.  This retreat offers students a glimpse into the profound gift of silence.  It may sound intimidating, but you will be amazed by how much you appreciate time spent alone, letting God love you just as you are.  Participants will meet daily with a spiritual director who will help guide their prayer.

Kairos

Spring Semester 2014

Kairos - God's time - gives students an opportunity to look inside themselves and at the relationships they have with others, asking them how they can live with a heart of love and service.

Open to all sophomores, juniors and seniors, Kairos explores the interaction of self and community and challenges retreatants to live each day with purpose. Though it involves traditional elements of retreats (small group discussion, prayer, outdoor activities, teambuilding, etc.), Kairos is a retreat experience unlike any other, an experience which pushes and changes retreat participants beyond expectations. Held at YMCA Camp Santa Maria in Grant, CO.
