Individually Directed Retreats
This exploration of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola will move you closer to God through the gift of prayer. For those of you looking for the next phase in your spiritual life, an individually directed retreat by one of the Jesuit or women directors is perfect. Through daily meetings with the director the retreatant is guided in: becoming aware of the reality of God's presence and activity; coming to trust this awareness; responding to this presence and activity.

A time of retreat provides opportunities for quiet reflection, prayer, personal renewal, integration and spiritual, physical and emotional refreshment. In the midst of busy lives, a time of decision-making or inner searching, retreat is a time for deepening or rediscovering relationship with God, a time to listen in the quiet for God's voice.
All adults (regardless of gender, life vocational commitment or religious affiliation) are welcome to participate in our retreats which are presented in the Catholic Christian tradition. Exceptions to this are noted (e.g., women's retreats, couple's retreats, etc.).
In a group setting a variety of Conference and Guided retreats and renewal experiences are offered. Directed retreats are offered in a one-on-one setting, retreatant with director. All retreats provide participants an opportunity for daily Eucharist.

We are pleased to offer a schedule of silent retreats providing opportunities for prayer and solitude in an ambience of natural beauty, order, and tranquility.
Believing that our world provides too little time and space for listening to God and that prayer is central to the Christian life, we offer these retreats as time set aside for dialogue with God, meditation, and contemplation.
Our retreats are designed to provide you with a broad range of choices, both in content and time frame, to deepen your spiritual journey. Our leaders are men and women of mature personal faith who are experienced and skillful in guiding others into silence and meditation.
The setting of woods and fields, the quiet of Merton's Pond, and the warmth of the Lodge and Inn are here to welcome you in your search for silence.
