Retreats for Any Adult Group

We Wait with Joyful Hope With the business of our world, and our non-stop pace in life, how do we keep the joy?  How do we not get overwhelmed with “doing” and be at peace with “being.”  This retreat calls us to invite the Holy Spirit into our external chaos to bring us internal peace.  We take time to reflect on the mystery of joy in our own lives.

 

Divina Tea Join us for a "holy" Tea as we reflect on the the maker, our journey and our need to take time and enjoy a cup.


Call to Life!  Discerning Your Path: We travel many roads in this world.  Many journeys are like a vacation, while some are our vocation.  What is “vocation”?  Do we all have one?  How do we know what God is calling us to?  This retreat will help individuals learn a process of hearing God’s call in their lives.

Programs for Professionals

 

Praying Your Plan Book:  This retreat will help teachers reflect on the presence of God in all that they do.  We often look through our plan book as something to “get through.”  This retreat offers you practical suggestions on praying through your day to experience God’s presence in the ministry of teaching and in the students He sends you.

 

Praying With Kids:  With all the things you need to get done, prayer often hits the bottom of the list.  This workshop encourages the teacher to pray with students in a variety of ways.  We will discuss prayer forms that fit different academic curriculums, for instance prayer through poetry, so you can seamlessly weave God into your class environment.

 

Recharging Your Teaching and Finding Your Center:  Both retreats designed to help the individuals find their center before they try to give of themselves in their ministry.  We will explore prayer, faith sharing and use activities to relax and renew ourselves.

 

Addiction Related Programs

Recovering Marriage from Addiction: This retreat weekend is geared for couples trying to recover their marriage from the damage of addiction.  With Christ as the model of intimacy, we will discuss key elements in the addictive process.  We will examine scriptures such as Ecclesiastes 4:12 and  how the “two become one” within the heart of Christ.  We will work with couples to understand the true face of intimacy, strategies for healthy communication and how to build a marriage recovery plan.

The Spiritual Nature of Addiction:
Many of us are aware of the emotional and psychological aspects of addiction. What about the Spiritual nature of addiction?  In this workshop, we will identify the factors leading to the bondage of addiction.  We will apply sound biblical and sacramental based strategies in overcoming the noose of addiction.  We will also identify key components of a Christian recovery plan.


Fact or Fiction?? Pornography Addiction: This workshop is geared for two specific groups, those suffering from the bondage of pornography and those who minister to individuals with pornography addiction.  We will explain the growing prevalence of this stigmatized and misunderstood addiction in our society.  We will examine the key components of pornography addiction, namely: the addictive root, the false belief system, the addictive cycle, and defense mechanisms.  We will identify relevant Christian principles to disassemble the addiction and begin steps toward recovery.
