How is God calling you now at this stage in your life? Are you seeking spiritual nourishment?
Perhaps you are a pastor, a spiritual director, or a ministry leader looking to refill your well?
Perhaps you are in a period of discernment, seeking the next steps on your journey.
Perhaps you would like some quiet time to spend with God.
Perhaps you are seeking rest and restoration.
Perhaps it’s time to book your annual retreat.
We invite you to discern God’s invitation to you through the tools of the spirituality of Ignatius of Loyola. Learning to discern gives us clarity and freedom in our spiritual journey and in life. “And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ” (Phil 1:9-10).
This weekend retreat will offer inspiring inputs, periods of silence for personal prayer, small group spiritual conversation, and optional individual spiritual direction. We will engage art, music, poetry, scripture, film, and time in nature. You are invited to bring non-cognitive activities (arts, crafts, jigsaw puzzles, etc.) for evenings and breaks in silence.
Ignatius believes retreatants need to be well-rested and well-fed. If possible, please come rested and plan to rest in the evenings and on your breaks. The centre will feed you well.
The Bethlehem Centre is offering new ways to make going on retreats more affordable: with payment plans, shared accommodations (bring a friend, sister, or partner), commuting rates, and some programs that are subject to early bird discounts. Plus, now there is a high-speed ferry from downtown Vancouver to downtown Nanaimo and a 10% discount on A/C taxis from the ferry to the centre.
