About the event
Over the 5 days we will have sessions, individual spiritual direction, great food and a beautiful location for you to come away from daily life. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, retreats give you time to explore, rest and examine your relationship with the Holy.
The desert was never seen as an empty region. It was full of action. It was a space that provided opportunity for divine vision and divine presence. The desert was a place where one was confronted with a different reality.
The desert was a space with a limitless God.
The desert is a place of spiritual radical revolution not of escape.
Living in the desert was often a time of living in community while living in a cave of solitude and stillness. There is diversity and complexity in this journey.
