Silent retreat for men and women in the tradition of St. Ignatius of Loyola

The Christian Meditation Retreat offers the experience of meditation, the opportunity to better understand our growth in the Christ-life and instruction on how meditation helps us be transformed in Christ.

Talks will draw upon the Scriptures and the specific form of the mantra prayer taught by Fr. John Main, OSB, founder of the World Community of Christian Meditation, Fr. Lawrence Freeman, OSB and Fr. Anthony de Mello, SJ. The practice, rather than the teachings, will be emphasized.

Please wear loose clothing, bring a pillow if you plan to sit on the floor and a yoga mat if you plan to join one of the Christian yoga sessions.  Be prepared to spend time privately—sitting or walking the grounds or praying at the Labyrinth or Stations of the Cross—and in group meditation.

Patron: Fr. Roberto de Nobili, SJ | Retreat Theme:  Christian Meditation | Retreat Format: TBD | Directors: Fr. Leo Cachet, SJ, Mary Gresens and DiAnne Schultz | Note: No dinner on Friday; ends after lunch on Sunday
