“Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch” (Luke 5:4).
DEFUNCT-Six-Day Directed Retreat
We invite you to participate in a silent, six-day retreat during which you can cast into the deep waters of your faith.
The Program
This retreat has minimal scheduled times together for the retreatants. Other than an opening and closing ritual, there are no group presentations or conferences. The daily rhythm will consist of meals taken together in the silent atmosphere of the retreat as well as an invitation to join the Saint John’s monastic community for daily prayer and Eucharist. Each retreatant will be matched with a spiritual director based on the information provided in the application process. The focus of the daily spiritual direction sessions will be the retreatant’s prayer life and experience of God. The retreat is a time of being rather than doing. It is a time of entering more deeply into one’s relationship with God.
The retreat begins with dinner at 5:30 p.m. on the first evening and concludes with dinner on the last evening. The cost of $745 includes a single room, meals, and daily spiritual direction.
Space is limited, and reservations are taken in the order received.
