Sponsored Day Retreats

Due to the COVID -19 pandemic we were unable to have our June 6th Along the Way annual pilgrim walking retreat. In response, we have made our annual walk an independent event to bring the Camino experience into our homes, families & neighborhoods. Due to the poor air quality in September we are extending our time to walk to November 7th! By signing up, you become a pilgrim on your own Camino to walk and reflect on your journey … and by signing up, you will support the Retreat Center.

This day workshop offers guided labyrinth walks, each featuring a different style of walk with a theme of landscape.  By paying attention to natural elements of the outer landscape we allow nature to renew and surprise us.  Explore inner landscape using silence, reflection, scripture, art, group activity and sharing. *Note: this event may move to Zoom.

In the workshop we will discuss the dynamics of addiction in the home and workplace. We will discuss responses to inspire a “Recovery Culture”. These responses include communication skills, self-care and a meditation practice.

Fr. Randy will guide participants in presentations, times for prayer, and reflections upon experience, using the Jesuit Constitutions for inspiration about applications of Ignatian Spirituality to groups of those who share a common mission.  Your group can be you and your spouse, your family ~ any gathering of two or more. *Note: this event may move to Zoom.

What are your hopes for your family after your own lifetime? Does your inheritance to loved ones speak of faith, hope and love? What do your children value?

Participants will gain a spiritual perspective leading to practical action while being guided to address these questions privately.
