LifeSHIFT
Work and the Christian Journey Retreat
April 24-26, 2015
Life is about managing change: career, personal, family, spiritual. This retreat is an opportunity to reflect on life and faith while considering new career, job, work and/or retirement possibilities. Activities include presentations/discussions, individual work, journaling, the Strong Interest Inventory, and the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. Participants will clarify life/work objectives and address the fears of transition while learning imaginative ways to explore their spirituality. Included in the daily schedule will be opportunities to join the monastic community for prayer and Mass.
The LifeSHIFT retreat begins at 7:00 p.m. on Friday and concludes after lunch on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. The cost is $215 for a single room and $370 for a double room ($185 per person).
