A Retreat for Busy People
Our days are full of to-do lists. The unceasing tide of e-mails and texts can leave us weary at days end. If life is feeling too full and hectic, perhaps 'A Retreat for Busy People' will afford you the time to slow down and breathe. The Fall 2024 session of this retreat is flexible in that the individual meetings adapt to your busy schedule, meeting once weekly (in-person in the Faber Center or virtually) with a spiritual companion beginning Monday, September 16.

Silent Directed Retreat
Seeking to grow your relationship with God? Escape the noise of the city and of daily life on the Silent Directed Retreat, held at the beautiful and serene Jesuit Retreat House on Lake Winnebago, January 6-11, 2025. This six-day retreat is based on the 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, each individual 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. Communal prayer and worship opportunities will also be available.
The Faber Center and Campus Ministry facilitate the Silent Directed Retreat as partners, making this one of only two retreats that students, faculty, and staff attend together. The resulting intergenerational community is a highlight of this retreat.
Silent Directed retreat is an ideal opportunity to take intentional steps forward in your relationship with God and reflect on what God鈥檚 invitations are for you right now
Cost:
$200 for faculty and staff
$700 for alumni
The retreat fee covers food and lodging for the duration of the retreat, all retreat programming, and spiritual direction for all retreatants. Financial assistance is readily available; contact Michael Dante if additional funding would help you take part in this year鈥檚 retreat.
