Comments from participants in this Retreat:

  • A good mix of presentation, reflection, and group discussion.
  • A time for reflection, a time to open my thinking on how to better my self and be more compassionate.
  • Helpful in centering my mind and heart.
  • (A chance to) renew my Spirit, reinforcing the necessity to be still and remember God is the master.
  • Just what I needed.
  • Loaded: so many thoughts and ideas were offered, and popped into my head, all with a common thread.
  • A return to peaceful.
  • A chance to be still and go inwards before turning outwards.
  • A time away to become grounded in what matters.
  • A reawakening--and encouragement to transform.
  • Refreshing and thought provoking.
  • Relaxing, calming, and fulfilling.
  • Relaxing and much needed after a reflective period and stressful time.
  • The breakout sessions gave us the chance to interact with more than those at our tables and expanded on the experience.
  • I appreciated the silence, which enabled a greater digesting of material. A sense of presence.
  • The reflections were well prepared and brought in thoughts of other times and traditions as they all attempt to connect us to our Spirit and one another.
  • Statio (a time of sacred pause) gave us time to absorb and rest our minds to be ready to listen and experience the next activity.
  • Statio allowed me to contemplate on what "spoke to me".
  • It was nice to have options to choose from in the breakout sessions.
  • The Statio was great---a time to absorb.
  • The reflections touched the heart, caused deeper reflections.
  • I feel like I could continue for a few more hours and really get launched on my spiritual journey.
