Suffering, spiritual growth, and the quest for the meaning of life.

Join Dr. Mary Allan O.F.S. at Sister Eveleen Retreat House to explore the notion that suffering can act as a positive catalyst for spiritual growthand the search for meaning. The retreat will guide us through an exploration of the relationship between suffering, spiritual growth, and the quest for meaning, and will lead us on a path where pain becomes a conduit for spiritual growth, and the discovery of meaning for one’s life.
The retreat will draw on two key resources:
The book of Job
and Viktor Frankel’s book – Man’s search for meaning
The day will explore these key topics:
Suffering as a catalyst for spiritual growth and deeper understanding of God. ​
Humans' primary motivational drive -the pursuit of purpose and significance in life.
