Busy Person's Retreat

When was the last time you took a break from your hectic schedule to reflect on the direction of your life? The Busy Person’s Retreat, offered by Campus Ministry, is a welcoming environment for people of all faiths. Based on the Lenten traditions but tailored to your needs by a spiritual companion, you’ll be guided through a series of exercises to help you:

• Find your spiritual center
• Examine your relationship with God
• Rejuvenate through contemplation and prayer

The retreat is centered around weekly meetings with a spiritual director, which last about an hour, throughout Lent, Feb. 8 – March 17. Participants also come together to kick off the retreat with a community prayer service and to celebrate their growth as a group at the end of the retreat.

Here are just a few examples of how previous attendees have benefited from the program:

• The Busy Person’s retreat lets you talk to someone about prayer in a friendly environment.
• I didn’t have to give up a whole chunk of time — I could meet between classes.
• I enjoyed speaking with my spiritual companion and gained new insight into prayer, how to make use of it and incorporate it into everyday life.
• Just having someone to open up to who listens really makes a difference.
