This retreat contains short lectures, reflective activities, and quiet time. Come to learn, reflect, and share in order to transform your life. Journey with three modern contemplatives who transformed their lives.•Thomas Merton - Finding Faith
The twenty-seven years he spent in Gethsemani brought about profound changes in his self-understanding. This ongoing conversion impelled him into the political arena, where he became, according to Daniel Berrigan, the conscience of the peace movement of the 1960's.
•Dorothy Day - Finding Purpose
Her life followed an unorthodox path – moving from rejecting religion in favor of activism to embracing Catholicism and integrating it with social action through the Catholic Worker Movement
•Henri Nouwen - Finding Self
Nouwen was interested in pastoral ministry, and he knew that the comparatively new discipline of psychology was important despite the fact that Church circles felt it undermined faith.
This time of reflection provides an opportunity to get to know yourself better. Create a timeline, design a tree of your life, remember your story.
*participants should bring a notebook
