We use metaphors as a means to a deeper recognition of God’s presence and the sacramentality of our every day life experience. We believe that the spiritual benefits of a retreat are priceless. Make a sound investment in your future! Schedule a retreat for your parish staff, catechists, or volunteer ministers.

Retreats are facilitated in a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Presentations are interesting, inspiring and exciting. Presenters make use of prepared talks, silent reflection, small and large group dialogue, prayer, opportunities for individual conferences and a variety of activities relating to the theme chosen.
